Re: The Rugby Union Thread
This guy was rubbish for Australia.
Notable efforts.
1. Allowing George Gregan to stay on way longer than his scrum half and captaincy abilities would allow.
2. Embarrassing Al Baxter by bringing him to international rugby and making him play 69 tests.
3. Coaching Japan to a comical win over the Saffa's.

Re: The Rugby Union Thread
I remember seeing him on TV in the 1995 world cup destroying the England team almost single handed, running down the pitch with 2 England players hanging on to him, unable to do anything about him.
Given that he died suddenly just after a long haul flight from Europe, it does beg the question, did he develop a DVT? It does seem as though his kidney problems were well under control with dialysis, but he may just have been more suspect than other people.
