When, where and against whom did Johnno make his England test debut?


Title: Re: mastermind
Post by: TightEnd on April 17, 2008, 01:17:03 PM
France, Twickenham, Jan 1993  Won 16-15. Played at 24 hours notice as a replacement for Wade Dooley


p.s Johnson briefly played American football for the Leicester Panthers as a tight end, or as the position is now known, as a hitler.

Will you get 45 minutes to google the answer at the audition ;)

Seriously though, I know you have a scarily good memory for garbage, and I think you have a good shout at going deep in the actual show.

It's all good practice, once its in the memory it doesn't fall out (unless its actually something important inlife!!)
