Digging Like A Demented Mole is a rugby blog run by a bunch of rugby fans, nerds, enthusiasts and players.
The name is derived from a classic bit of commentary from Hawick’s own Bill McLaren that was made famous in the inimitable Jonah Lomu Rugby game on the Playstation.
We hope you enjoy reading and encourage you to give us your thoughts.
Digging Like a Demented Mole 
I love the site guys. Very clever and funny. Being neither, I’ll point out that Bill McLaren was from Hawick, not Hewick. I’m sure that’s just a typo judging by the level of insight and understanding of the game displayed elsewhere.
I’m not sure if I agree with you about Richie Gray. He has some skills but he looks a few stones too light just yet to be considered Matfield’s heir apparent as the world’s best middle of the line jumper. Spot on about Hinesy though, my mate from the Manly Marlins.
Cool site. Just found it as I was looking for an image of Mike Tindall. I have used it…hope you dont mind and have included a link at the bottom.

What’s happened to your output?
Exams, work, injury and illness [and now a holiday!] Will be back on track in the near future.
Ah well, all’s well that ends well, so I’m glad you’re OK, and whenever the articles flow again I’ll look forward to reading them!
Hurry back. Pure class dripping from every word of your analysis. I knew that “a bunch of rugby fans, nerds, enthusiasts and players” was likely just one guy.
Do you take requests? On topics for analysis I mean.
we’ve never been asked. what were you thinking?
A dispassionate look at the top referees, much like your detailed review of Lydiate, I would find interesting
great site. i’ve just been sent a link by a friend in ireland.
You lads are a joke. Latest podcast (#15) 2 minutes in, castigating Munster – “you don’t like the laws of the game because they apply to your team, you may as well not follow the game of rugby.”
Not two minutes later, talking about Leinster’s constant infringement at the scrum under their own posts, “it’s not clear to me what was wrong with those scrums…you can have too many laws at scrums.”
You permanently give out like you’re the only reasonable and honest pundits, but you’re total gobshites.
So ‘ah could we con’ac’ ‘he old bunch? Do you ‘appen ‘o ‘ave an e-mail address ‘ha’ you could share?
