Did you see the state of the pitch though? Absolutely shocking before they started. Got to remember Paterson is the most accurate kicker in Test rugby as well.
And I'd still rather have Jones than Captain Chinny, he's a much solider pair of hands. Hook does the flashy stuff but hasn't got the basics nailed nearly as well. And we can always let Halfpenny kick.
@ Captain - yes, up to and including any convictions for same. It's something that I really feel that strongly about. It will not help track crime and terrorists, it will just inconvenience law abiding citizens (I consider myself one of those these days!). As I said above I don't believe they have any right or reason to retain the data, and that's without considering the fact that they're going to fuck it up when they do implement it. It's based on biometrics that haven't been trialled in the real world, and as with every other government IT job (passport office, NHS database, air traffic thing) it's going to be programmed by retards, ten years past schedule and fifteen times the budget. I would have no confidence at all that, for instance, when I presented my ID card at the doctors for treatment that they would not be able to see my criminal record due to a fuck up on the system.
The NO2ID website has a much better worded explanation of why it's such an appalling idea, check it out. Well worth a look.
