little fact check is that in the dictionary are you happy remember definition please is it good what's the definition [Applause] for an England player you must have done a fair bit of jostling in your time yeah and uh do you want to see the um I mean this is a bit of a tap in to make it longer um that sums me up doesn't it so the scores are John Stone's on Sixth and Luke Shaw is on Neil so you've
