Will Banahan & Cueto be scared of North?

England should have fielded a much bigger back 3 to cope with George North.

England should've had a much bigger country to deal with Mr George North

In answer to your question - No.

Much bigger ????????? - Yer right, that Banahan fella is a right short ar$e

No.

Nope....

Its interesting ...theres some big expectations on that young lads shoulders. He is a talent...but let him progress in his own time before picking him up as the next "big thing"

North v Banahan could very well just cancel each other out.

Christ, cheer up Saesnegs its Friday....

Llangefni lad will do well............da iawn Gogledd Cymru (well done North Wales)

Yes. They'll be terrified and wet their pants.

I guess they will have to 'practise'. Were talking about 'practice'.

In America this dumb interview has achieved cult status, to a point where 'practise' is almost slang. It's my favourite 'practise' video, from Alan Iverson, former spolied basketball player, missed practise and answered the media about 'practise'. The laugh track was added later, but I love this. OK. not really on the point, but I like this too much. And I guess Bannanahan and Cueto will have to 'practise'.

George who?

wasn't he born in England?

Is it allowed that an Englishman is playing for Wales?

Not really a concern on the big stakes. I think Banahan is bigger and Cueto is good with head on tackling. Now if 'Ickle Shane was playing they'd be in more trouble as Banahan and Cueto aren't the quickest.

Are you really sure you want to go down the who was born where avenue?

I would consider it a waste of a thread to go over that again...!

It's funny how some people over look this fact!

BATH_BTGOG wrote:It's funny how some people over look this fact!

The fact that out of 22 players in the England squad only 17 were born there ? Do shush eh ?

Ickle shane is playing isn't he

yep shane is back.

of the 5 players born overseas did you count Matt Banahan?

yeah I don't understand why people keep saying Shane is on the bench. he's in the starting line up.

Who cares where someone was born? It's a fact of modern rugby. Can we move on please?

Cueto is scared of North... its where the try line is.
I'll get my coat...

What The George North.... The one who scored two trys on his debut and then?????????????? Not The George North that has NZ thinking of not turning up as their bricking it........... Not The George North who thinks that the earths core is a tad chilly......THAT GEORGE NORTH???????

God sake guys hes a young fairly inexperanced winger who COULD be very good, and its not like we've seen big wingers before is it. Just let him enjoy him rugby without the lable of the next great welsh hope

Is somebody trying to recreate the sarcastic George North/Twelvetrees threads from old 606?

I found some of those quite funny...

Some were ok some were a bit............
Its just some posters see his name on the team sheet and instanty think he is the first/ second/ third coming of the welsh saviour, and that nothing can stop a big winger and he will just walkover all attepted tackles

I'm pretty sure this thread wasn't meant to be taken seriously and was in the vein of Chuck Norris rather than he is the new messiah of rugby

I know Munkian, its just unfair putting all that pressure on a young lad...... who as we all know is a poor mans imatation of Banahan

George North could turn out to be a bit like Steve Hanley. Good for his club but not required for his country...

To be honest George was not in the best of form coming to the end of the season. He was dropping ball, and over running passes. Hopefully he has made enough of a rest to have sorted these things out, but I wouldn't want to pin Wales hopes on his young shoulders, not matter how good I believe he will be in the future.

(also side note: i was born in England, and lived there as long as George did, but I would not/have not classed myself as English ever, so odds are neither has he)

The irony over this who was born where debate and then bringing Banahan into the mix is interesting.

As a Jerseyman, Banahan is not actually English. Being born in Jersey means he could of played for any of the home nations.

Welcome to the internet.

No. Welcome to the fact I have friends from Jersey. Cheers though.

Why would they be scared, is North planning to scare them with a halloween costume?

Yup, a Lomu mask

Can someone lock this thread to save it from itself?

For once I am very happy to agree with nottins. North looks like a very exciting talent but I doubt Cueto or banaman will be quaking in their boots. The only thing that frightens Cueto is scoring tries.

Agree with SS, North is a tremendous talent but he wasnt in good form at the tail end of the season, overcooking things a bit too much imo.

However he can eat more cowpies than desperate dan(for those of you who dont remember comics google him) whilst farting "Mae hen wlad"

North, is quick and strong, but he doesn't have the greatest hands. Also Cueto and Banahan aren't small guys themselves. I can't see why they would be scared.

Some say he has a fear of white lines due to him being allergic to paint, and that he’s scared of whistles... all we know is, he's called Mark Cueto.

Some say he's God's gift to rugby, some say hes only English... all we know is he's called George North

Some say he was born with those Tattoos, and that in a former life he was called Eric and lived at 29 Acacia Road... all we know is, he's called Matt Banahan

Whatever happened to George Marvin?

Ahhh the highly promising flanker/fly half?
