Altho mostly a centre or wing, my natural devastating speed and tackling ability was applied as wing forward.. Absolute wrecker of opposition 10s. Represented NI BB v Edinburgh at Murrayfield playing in back row. Can play piano and guitar and good for squad morale and kids parties.
I am 77
A shoo in?!
UR needs more BB boys :salut: :cheers:
I missed out on a 'cap' when the company captain forgot to tell us when the trials were taking place! :banghead:
I was in the Cubs/Scouts and we only ever played soccer. Played against the BB quite a lot.
I once lined out for the Naval Reserve against the TA. What a hoking that was :lol:
Anybody else got any obscure representative claims?

What year?!
I’m 77, so must have been 1963 or 1964

If London Irish do fold it looks like Paddy Jackson may possibly be on his way to Newcastle.

Just a reminder, that Nucifora is on record.....

And now Nucifora suggested they might return to Ireland in the longer term.

"It's not one for me to say, but I don't think we can make a comment on that," he replied when asked if they are out of the picture for Ireland for the rest of their careers.

He added: "But I don't think anything is ever forever, who knows what could happen or what will happen?

"For the immediate future, there's no thought that they will be considered.

"They are playing overseas so, at the moment, if you're playing overseas, you're not considered."
Well it has been five years..... I don't think anything is forever.

Probably.
