“The fact that the Gloucester Rugby hating old man and multi user-name troll jonno2010, aka Django_G, aka Absolam, aka akadau, aka glawsteruk1, aka Gordon_P, aka graybaggs, aka peh45, etc. continues to rubbish Harden while Nigel Davies, the DoR/head coach, continues to select him, when he is fit, as his first choice, is indicative of the complete lack of Gloucester/rugby knowledge of the clueless troll.”

“As has been said, we must play Harden as often as possible if we are to maintain our strong scrum and keep us on track for a successful season.”

“Rupert Harden is the official first choice Gloucester Rugby tight head. No doubt about it.”

“On the subject of Rupert Harden, he is the best and the most talented tight head at Gloucester Rugby. He has no one giving him any real competition for the number 3 shirt, so I expect that ND will bring in someone to give him proper back up for when Harden is injured in the future.”

“Of course the troll jonno2010 won't be at Adam's Park, unless it is to support Wasps. He is a Gloucester Rugby hater. He does not support Gloucester and he certainly has no idea where Kingsholm is.”

“Gloucester Rugby's starting tight head + Gloucester Rugby's best tight head = RUPERT HARDEN.”

“Out of 14 Premiership games so far this season, Harden has started 10. Nigel Davies, the chap who earns his money from knowing what is what when it comes to rugby union, certainly knows which of his tight-head props is his first choice and Rupert Harden would have started the other Premiership games had he been fit and available.”

“Rupert Harden is the first choice of the Gloucester DoR. Now I know that the multi-named troll, jonno2010/glawsteruk1/Django_G/Absolam/autotroll/akadau/Gareth_J/Kap721, likes to think he knows more than Nigel Davies about rugby but let me give him the facts... he doesn't!”

“What a simpleton the Gloucester Rugby hating troll jonno2010 is. He can't even spell a two letter word "by" correctly.
And he won't be at Adam's Park because he will be too busy trolling.”
