Does anyone know what is going on in this RFU England Shop advert?
It looks like some sort of open-handed martial art attack.
Answers on a postcard, please.

Wither media outrage?
The East Terrace awaits the media outrage over John Hayes getting his lenient six week ban for stamping reduced: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/8305958.stm
We are 100% sure those same journalists who were outraged over Mr. Burger getting a mild slap on the wrist from the SARFU in the summer will also be screaming blue murder over Mr. Hayes and his outrageous appeal.
They will....won't they?
Hello? Anyone?

First is everywhere. Second is nowhere. Eleventh? Um....
..we'll take it.
UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph kindly/mistakenly put The East Terrace at number 11 in their Top 20 Rugby Union Websites list.
They even gave us another mention in the follow up article. Nice chaps.
The East Terrace feels very much like a side that has worked hard at times, but mainly coasted along not trying too hard or not bothered to take too many risks, and found itself in...well...11th place in the league at season's end.
Patron Saint of Mediocrity we praise thee.

WRU foolishly allow non-drinking child to design rugby trophy
The Welsh Rugby Union had proudly unveiled its new trophy for the Principality Premiership.
The trophy, which will be presented to 2009 league winners Cardiff, was designed by nine-year-old girl, Weronika Wojiechowska. The Cardiff schoolgirl won a nationwide competition held by the Principality Building Society to design the trophy.
The WRU are gushing in their praise and have said that the trophy is ‘deceptively heavy’ and was ‘chosen because of its unusual and contemporary look’.
No doubt many ‘non-rugby’ members of the public flicking through their newspapers will be delighted to see a young schoolgirl have the honour of inspiring a national sporting trophy.
However, surely the first thought of rugby people will be: “Where does the beer go?”
The second thought should be: “How do you wear it on your head?”
Our final thought was that, after a few beers, someone may well ‘have their eye out’. Look at the sharp edges on that thing!
What next? Satin sashes for the winning captain?

Mike Rayer again overlooked for the Lions
Former Wales, Bedford and Cardiff fullback Mike Rayer has again been overlooked for a place on a British and Irish Lions' tour.
Lions manager Gerald Davies has just announced a 37 man squad to take on the Springboks this summer in South Africa (see squad here) and the unlucky fullback has missed out.
Rayer's failure to make the tour seem to make it almost inevitable that Iain Balshaw will always be able to say he has played on more Lions' tours than Michael Anthony Rayer.
