My two sons!
I love it when we’re together as a family watching the rugby!
The commentary isn’t quite as polite as the BBC though.

I know what you mean. I like it when it's a full room.

Bill McLaren was an old family friend and colleague of my Dad.
He was unique!

There's never been a better one than Bill McLaren. I don't even like rugby but still remember some of his turns of phrase eg 'He reached out with a hand like a frying pan'!

My favourite and often quoted was about someone running and zigzagging”like a baggy (minnow to the English) up a Border burn”
