The phrase is probably new to you. In fact, it was to me until I made it up. In essence, it means an individual's character is determined by their hair colour. So blonds are dizzy. Brunettes are brooding. And redheads are angry. Very angry. Hence the choice of Rob Harley to make his first Scotland start at flanker in Saturday's RBS 6 Nations encounter in place of the injured Al Strokosch.
