I mss the non-professional days. Listening to Bobby Windsor - working in the steel works,getting picked for the Lions. Staggering that so many had a full-time job and played world class rugby at the highest level. I remember the England front row in 91, Probyn,Moore,Leonard - playing in a world cup final on Sat, then back to work on Monday regardless. A antique furniture salesman,a lawyer and a carpenter. Respect. You have a 100 times more pride than the England team at the last world cup did.
