    Do ESPN have stats referencing hairstyles?

    Yeah, this 'rugby journalist' has plenty of previous.

    Another from the quality Indo stable.

    It's an odd piece, not a terrible one though. Obviously the hair metaphor is driven home a bit too much!

    Looking forward to Barry Egan regaling us with tales of how himself and "the hair" tore up Harcourt Street last weekend.... only in this Sunday's Indo.

    Connacht re-signed 3 players yesterday and announced their departures but their was not one scrap written (from what I've noticed today) in the Indo. There is an article on the hairstyles of pro rugby players. Final nail in calling the Independent a broadsheet coffin for me.

    Yes. And they're completely inaccurate.

    Kate Rowan is the only rugby, maybe sports, reporter in the Independent to have a pic of them/her in a figure hugging black sleek dress. It's also 2 or 3 times the size of the other sports reporters pics.

    If you want me to read what you that's not a good start. I read articles based on what the journalist writes, not how good they look.

    I haven't read the article because of the above but I'd imagine it's ****.
