      In all fairness though, who would seek the views of a neckless xenophobe that spent most of his career buried in a mound of writhing wobblebottomed forwards as to just who was a player worth watching in either code?
      Moore should stick to what he knows best...........whatever that is.

        He might have been a "flop" at Union but he was a legend and a great league player for Wigan.

          I have to disagree. Brian Moore is quite the opposite to being a one eyed xenophobe. He is the first to criticise England when they play badly and he is the first to praise English opponents when they play well. He was the scourge of the Welsh and the Scots both in competition on the field, verbally and in the press, however he is quite magnanimous in his praise for those who do well who are not English.

            Farrell was a fantastic League player!

              He's also a qualified solicitor, a qualified manicurist (!) and wrote a wine column as well as his sports column. I actually think his Telegraph column is one of the best around; he writes very well.

                I have met him and like many top rugby players he is quite inscruitable/strange with a sort of mad streak in him. Most of them are just plain thick without any personality.

                  I've met a few although only really union players (with the exception of Jason Robinson) and they have all been pretty intelligent.

                  Maybe the League boys just aren't as clever as the Union boys.

                    Probably right.
