plus much more ...
he could not have known what he'd done.
The ensuing attraction of one simple action;
To pick up the ball and to run" ...
from "Webb-Ellis Willy".
You'll be a Rugby man, my son.
The Cup
Kanga-bies and Walla-roos
The pride of lions
A debut to remember
My time in the country
The boys from the bush
In praise of props
Why I play
Love to have a beer with Duncan
Pigs and poofs
When I watch the Rugby
A clubman hangs his boots
Keeping the spirit alive
Well hung boots
The 31st man
The man from Little River -A tribute to the coach
The coaches' widows
End of season toasts
he would never turn cold shoulder
to the laps or drills he'd meed out to the chaps.
And in leading by example he'd join in the joyless trample
of the madness of the madmen running laps. ..."
" He had studied up statistics, and his ballering ballistics
was evidence that he understood full well,
That the backs should do their dancing
with the forward pack advancing,
if our team was going to stand a chance in hell." ...
from "The man from Little River; (A tribute to the coach)"
