## Resource

Bilbao delivered with Bordeaux and so did the couch. Though this week is a little different after the shenanigans of last week as Tocco decides to pump the breaks on the Belgian Triples so Jones has to put the wildcard hat on. There are mullet crimes, hobbits and Jones can't keep his eyes off of Big Ben Tamiefuna. We open the mailbag up a bit to field questions about the Nations cup while Bielle-Biarrey gets a comparison to Barry that's either completely right or completely wrong. We've got serious conversations about backs in scrum caps, Jallibert is still sexy as hell and the TMO, once again, is still trash. The couch remains intact. Welcome to Rugby the way you've always loved it; on the Wrong Side. We've got cold beer, a comfy seat and plenty of shit to talk. Welcome, we think you'll like it here.
