I’m very sad, an absolute legend of our game.

That is very sad news. It's no age now, 74.
He was one of the greats, for sure.

RIP
It's hard now to appreciate that he, Edwards, John etc were all amateurs, & were as magically skilled as they were, while still doing a regular job during the week, & rocking out for their clubs at the weekend.

Jonathan Joseph also a good tennis player (although not to that extent), must be something about great footwork and balance.Slick wrote: Tue Jan 09, 2024 9:42 am I'd forgotten he also won junior Wimbledon and qualified for the old British Tennis Open
I've heard mixed reviews about JPR's medical skills though!

My parents took me to a British Lions' game against a combined local team for my 10th birthday, in 1971. It's my first live rugby memory... the 71 Lions fercryinoutloud. JPR and his sideburns were part of the sort of primary coding my rugby programming received.
I know it's simply nature doing its thing but this getting older and watching the trees thin out around you has knobs all over it. RIP JPR.
