any noted rugby players or officials?...why not tell us about them...maybe you've bumped into one or two in some airport or maybe they're a friend or a friend of yours or maybe you've seen them in the distance?

 

It is the non rugby season so how about telling us about your experience(s)?

 

 

I tend to think it would be a more enjoyable topic than trying to decipher whether the Earth is still flat LOL

Met Bobby skinstead often when I was working part time as a waiter in Rosebank many years ago. He lived only a few meters from the restarant I worked at. Very sound bloke. He had just moved from the WP to the lions. He came there with a different bird everytime. My job was to make sure her drinks were always full,

I know Mick Galway very well as I coach his son at our local Rugby Club. When I first met him I just moved to Ireland and I dident know who he was. He had asked me who I use to play for back home etc, I then asked him the same and he replied he had played a few games or so. (mean time hed played for the lions and ireland) I later found out who he was, also a very down to earth guy.

 Bobby was most impressed with my son's jumper....said he liked it, my boy was wearing the Province hoops. We didn't get to chat, he was making his way into the dressing room at the Sydney Football Stadium. Mind you, he was the only one to say so out of the Stormers outfit.

No that was in a match against Grey High, but I did pop it tackling Hennie in a Tuesday, tight training session. We used to always mix the first and seconds on a Tuesday and have a match, followed by a murderous fitness session

 I had the opportunity to meet the Springbok and the Irish team in Dublin.  They were rushed as they were due to speak at the conference, but I managed to talk with a few of them including Etzebeth, Mvovo, JP, Franco, and Kruger Ronan O'Gara Heaslip, Conor Murray; Etzebeth and JP and Ronan O'Gara were a good laugh.  The Irish lads had more time for people and all the pictures stuff than the Boks lads, because I reckon they would have finished their interviews. 


But I think O'Gara won a lot of people's hearts, even though they lost the match that day.
