Rooney or Dallaglio?

A question not a million miles away from: "liver or marmite"

These two paragons of arrogant English ugliness have been selected by Nike, in their infinite wisdom, as the "team captains" for the Nike 10k - the idea being that you designate yourself as Northern or Southern English and get a bit of friendly rivalry in the London leg of the race.

This obviously presents me with a considerable problem - in that I can't stand either of them, and I certainly don't feel the slightest connection or allegiance to either the North or South of the country that happens to contain London.

Given that the independent city state in which I reside is in the South and I have (save for a two day visit to Leeds in 1998) never been to the North, logic would suggest I should pin my colours to Dallaglio. But, as painful and appealing as that sounds, I couldn't possibly bring myself to do it.

I assume David Healy's little legs are too short to get him round the course, worse luck.
