Same team the Times has today as team of the 2018 6 nations by the looks of it
J.J Sexton to Captain
Sir Bill Beaumont. A richly deserved knighthood for the 1980 British Lions captain to South Africa. That’ll really throw down the gauntlet to the class of 2021.
What? Rugby sent a team to apartheid south africa, any irish players on it?
Former Shamrock Rovers player Tony Ward.
Yes, he should be hounded out of ireland
Any others
Dont think so
John Robbie. He’s still in South Africa 38 years on.
There were loads of micks in that squad. Olly Campbell, Phil Orr, John O’Driscoll. Noel Murphy was the coach.
Wow
Fucks sake Gil.
Could I recommend Clem Thomas and his definitive history of the British Lions. That’ll get your rugby education up to speed on the British Lions. Any rugby man worth his salt needs to be well versed on the British Lions.
A shameful period in your adopted sport’s history
He’s only a bandwagoner, rugby was invented in the mid 90s
Shamrock Rovers fans racially abused Joey N’do in Tallaght, Ward is a hero to them.
London hotspurs fans throw bananas at black players
Whataboutery.
I wouldn’t be near as old as you
Pointing out hypocrisy
Thankfully we weeded out the miscreant that threw the banana and he’s already been prosecuted. I believe it was only one so called ‘fan’ and not fans. That’s the template for the scummy soccer crowd to deal with racism. What made you throw in your lot (intermittently) with the Yid Army again?
