Room 101: James Gaskell – Wasps lock

James Gaskell1. Cyclists
Cyclists clog up the roads and don’t seem to have any appreciation for the traffic behind them. You often see them riding two or three abreast, spread out across the road, chatting to one another like they haven’t got a care in the world and completely oblivious to the queue of cars rapidly forming behind them. In London they never seem to stop at zebra crossings either. It’s one rule for them and one rule for everyone else. I don’t mind the odd ‘Boris Bike’ in Hyde Park but that’s about it.
TRP verdict: Who are we to put a spoke in your wheels? You’re in.
2. Props
If we got rid of props there wouldn’t be half as many penalties in the game. Although some, namely Jake Cooper-Woolley (left), think they have got the skills of backs, in reality they just get in the way of a good game of . Henry Thomas used to get loads of abuse at for being top of the penalty chart.
TRP verdict: Don’t be so tight – or loose!
3. Carrots
Carrots are something I avoid eating whenever possible. They don’t sit well with me at all: they are bland – and orange! I tried to jazz them up a bit once by honey-glazing them but it didn’t really make any difference. I can see in the dark so my self-imposed carrot ban has not affected my eyesight!
TRP verdict: Rugby needs more carrot-ers so it’s a no we’re afraid.
