An Irish Rugby Tale

Back in the mid 1960s there was an Irish full back of awesome ability by the name of Dermot “Stone Wall” Hogan.  Built like a cow shed, his tackling powers were legendary. He’d go in low and hard, leaving opponents wishing they’d never left the dressing room.  His boast was he’d never missed a tackle.

Meanwhile, across the water in England there was a winger by the name of Roger Cadwallader-Smith.  Roger, nicknamed “The Electric Eel,”  could sprint like a champion racehorse, dodge like a butterfly and leave vainly pursuing opponents looking like drunken cattle.  He was England’s record try scorer.
