Dare you ask Pollock what he's thinking? He is so bright. Yeah. When we switch into business, he's like the breakdown, we've got to do this, this, this, this, 21.

What was the last thing that really pissed you off?

My wife said, what do you say at half time? And I said, why? She goes, into business. He's like the breakdown we've got to do this, this, this, this, 21. What was the last thing that really pissed you off?

My wife said, what'd you say at half time? And I said, why? She goes, oh, they put it on TV.

And it's me having this massive tantrum. And I'm pointing like this, and I never knew I pointed like that. With the old pistols. Alex Payne trying to keep the sight going forward. Haskell takes it on now with just relentless chat.

This week, I reckon we might get one or two comments because we are joined by a man in the spotlight, the one only Phil Dowson,

director of rugby, firmly hitting his stride with Northampton Saints, sitting top of the Gallagher Prem and through to the last 16 of the Champions Cup and in some style as well. A competition they finished runners-up in last timeout. As a player, Phil racked up 262 top-flight for Newcastle, Northampton and Worcester before making the move into coaching at Saints. He even had the pleasure of coaching. Yours truly. You're welcome. Since then, he's joined an elite club when he premiership titles as both a player and a director of rugby. A very warm welcome to Phil Darsson. Thank you very much.
