An Englishman, an Irishman...

England coach Andy Robinson and Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan took in the recent Sale versus Munster encounter as part of their preparations for the Six Nations. Frankly, we don't see the humour in that - can you help?

Robinson: "I've upped the side's weights-training programme - I'm making the boys carry Mike Tindall and Ben Cohen throughout all the game."
Ed Longley, Cardiff

Robinson: "I still have no idea what I'm doing..."
O'Sullivan: "Well to tell the truth, I'm still picking the team by picking names out of a hat!"
Robinson: "Thank god, I thought I was the only one!"
Andrew Shanks

Robinson: "I'm going to have a right laugh this Six Nations. I'll pick a load of geriatrics, lose most of the games�and I bet those duffers at the RFU still won't fire me!"
Brian O'Neill, London

Robinson: "Can you believe they actually made me England coach?!"
O'Sullivan: "Ha ha! Now I've seen it all!"

Robinson: "Quit pinching me there Eddie, the photographer is watching!"

Robinson: "Can you believe Wales won the Grand Slam last year?"

Robinson: "So let's run through this one more time, Eddie - that fella there, standing just off the big blokes, passes the funny shaped ball to the other fella in the centre, who sticks it up his shirt and runs as fast as he can towards his opposite number, but he's not allowed to pass, and looks for the nearest bloke to collapse in front of? Easy peasy, knighthood here I come."
Alastair Chell

Robinson: "Eddie, let's see if we can really screw up the Premiership - you pull your squad and I'll pull mine."
John Kennedy, Leicestershire

Robinson: (whisper) "Eddie, I don't want to ridicule old Irish customs, but what do your scrum-halves think they're doing with this weird hand gesture at the end of the scrum? Then again, it's reminiscent of something, though I can't quite place it... Look! He did it again!"
Robinson: "Oh, that? It's what we call a 'pass'."
Thomas Chaboud, Toulouse

Robinson: "You think that's funny Eddie, wait to you hear how much Lawrence paid me to get back on the team!"
Robert Glasspool, Hong Kong

Robinson: "I want to coach soccer."

Andy Robinson: "No seriously, even if Johnny was fit I'd still play Charlie Hodgson."

But the winner is...

Robinson: "Have you heard the latest score? Southampton 0, Ipswich 2!"
