the back is really bad! The front I don't mind as much.

I think she was referring to Rugby not having a pit.

Exactly! I think the one spouting nonsense about tattoos and fluff might be Danusia. She is a truely awful commentator at the British in house. Butchers peoples names constantly and spouts incorrect rule information.

exactly ! Not sure she can even find anywhere to train these days......
