Terrible news. As a budding second row, I used to want to play like him. Terrible.

Good luck to the guy. Just read it here: http://www.sarugbymag.co.za/blog/detail ... d-with-mnd
If they're good enough to play at World Cups, why not in between?

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

I saw that. Great to see such an impressive turn out, and that Doddie's choice of suit remains undimmed.Big D wrote:The thing the beeb showed at half time was nice. Shows how well respected and liked he is
