Indeed. YR never played rugby and, to be honest, finds the rules of the game bizarre (polite description) never mind the odd shape of the ball! However, he does know that B John is one of the REAL legends not only of rugby but sport as a whole. Amazing to watch the somewhat 'grainy' clips of TV recordings on the news this evening and seeing a selection of rather 'lean' looking gentlemen playing the game as opposed to the huge 'beefcakes' of the modern era. One try in particular was shown in which The King raced past lumbering opponents with graceful dummies and side steps in either direction. They will be reeling in The Valleys tonight as The King of Welsh Rugby is mourned. We salute him as indeed the other real legends who have passed in recent weeks / months. |  | | |

Totally agree. I’m not a rugby fan but I loved Barry John. | | | |
