Dances with whistles

I loved Mexted’s comment in the Hurricanes / Crusaders match tonight. Steve Walsh, who had been talkative even for him, pulled the captains in for a chat on about 60 minutes.

Walsh – “I know everyone’s getting tired, but they have to stay on their feet. I’m now in penalty mode. OK?”

Mex – “He’s been in penalty mode from the beginning – 34 penalties in all so far.”

Walsh dished out 43 penalties in the game. Just because he was passed over for lunch monitor in primer 3, does the country have to suffer so?
