Irish Karate chop to Itoje’s neck. Disgraceful

Wife doesn’t think it would be a good wall hanging in the living room. Women can be strange.

Personally, I feel like it'd be better zoomed out a little bit. Those paintings typically showed full bodies in a melee.

In your situation, maybe if some lads' arses were on display she'd be more into it? :grin:

Best showing by Itoje all tourni.

It is a very good photo. Should get some photographer an award or two. Clicks all the classic structures for an image.

Why does it look like whipped cream? :grin:

It's tough to get even wet snow to hold like that. I wonder if they gave it spritzing with a spray bottle?

I made this last winter and the arms kept falling off. I think I stuck something in there like coat hanger wire and put the snow around it. I didn't put much effort into it, but it was hard even to do the hand without it falling apart, let alone that triceratops' head!

That's really good, Niegs!

Not that South East England leaves one with much snow expertise, but maybe you need the right kind of snow for it or just the aptitude? Some people manage extraordinary things with sand sculpture.

The producer clearly has a twisted sense of humour, choosing this reporter to cover the damage from a tornado.
