Re: Behind the scenes of Eddie Jones' Wallabies catastrophe

Re: RIP to the great JPR.
RIP
I too remember seeing him play on the 71 tour. Great player.
Was it JPR who was named in the team against BOP on that tour and then withdrew and the Lions said it was because he was upset at being named as JPR Williams (Ireland) in the local match program?

Re: The conspiracy behind the Springbok road to victory deepens.
