Schoe is the man. One of my friend's husband was the official SRU translator for Bofelli at Edinburgh and got to know him fairly well. Lovely guy - very religious - just as nice when out of the media glare. (Unfortunately confirmed a few rumours about RSA schoolboy rugby but I wouldn't take 3rd hand gossip as fact if I were reading this comment.)
Watching the Irish crowd at the Lions - Argentina game and hearing them chant SCHOOO was heart warming.
Separate comment: Tom English gets way too much shite in the comments section of BBC Sport articles. Makes me embarassed to have so many xenophobic compatriots. It shouldn't be relevant but the dude is married to a Scot with two Scottish sons - what more do you want?
I think salty fans are taking our dire record against Ireland out on him.
Yeah, I do think he often has his poor moments, but on the whole he's a good pundit. He's written a few books worth reading too
