 Sorry,but it is hard to go back fifty years,this Taff played in
 which Welsh team that beat the ABs.


1971 Lions.


Oh, that welsh team.

Oob obviously was over the top, but it is sad to see such an esteemed former
player write an article with so many factual inaccuracies and perpetuated
myths. Its like he just made it up, I guess you don't have to fact check an
opinion piece but lets hop Gerald isn't aiming for a career in Journalism


As I already noted in another reply. Gerald is a gentleman and has written a considered piece which, with the best will in the world should cause no offence, argument maybe but not offence. As for factual inaccuracies what would they be exactly? I already referred in a post a couple of months ago to the frankly laughable Haka performed before the famous Barbarians game.

His opinion pieces are well worth reading. As for a career in journalism well, he's had one for at least twenty years.
