Thanks Merv
Meant to say that from what I saw you were looking quite trim in the commentary box during the Ashes....well at least when standing next to Beefy Botham.

22 caps for Ireland in the same period btw
I can't get my head around Beefy's grandson playing Pro rugby. I must be getting really old!
Edited the wrong post there. Definitely getting old

Technically 4 appearances for Lions in 20/21 but as Japan fixture was the only appearance with test status others not recorded (my guess) on their website.Neill_M wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 10:59 pmAll.rugby is your go to website for stats like this:Bart S wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 9:24 pm Merv - do you know how many games Hendy has played for Ulster over the past 2 and a half seasons?

Is it right that Beefy’s son is living in Holywood and has a young lad who is killing dead things?big mervyn wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 10:58 pmThanksbig mervyn wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 9:47 pmHe made his 100th appearance on January 18 2019, so 23 further appearances in just over 3 years.

Liam is indeed in Holywood and I’m hoping there’s no killings going on!

Great stuff.
Am a few years older than Liam but I played cricket against his school and they had the best grub ever. It was the Lord’s of the northern grammar/posh school circuit, most aptly highlighted by our quick bowler throwing up an over into his first spell post-tea after over-indulging.

Come to think of it, one of my biggest sporting regrets was being not out at tea there, nibbling on a couple of salmon and cucumber butties to be sensible and then getting out shortly afterwards anyway.

I idolized the man in my youth. Now he's just a pathetic fat old gammon reduced to peddling quack medicines (or is that Eamonn Holmes?).

He’s earned his dotage.
It’s already a bit chilly out. Could be a thermal vest job tonight.
