HK 2 Brian Moore
After retirement, Moore continued his legal career as a lawyer, but was asked regularly by the BBC to supplement their rugby commentary team. He does not mince his words: in 2008, he was heard to yell “They’ve kicked it away again, for God’s sake!”, when England did not run the ball in Rome, and shouted “You halfwit!” when an England forward played a French restart which had fallen short of the required ten metres, causing England to lose possession when they would otherwise have been awarded a scrum.
Moore covered the 2011 Rugby World Cup for TalkSport Radio as lead co-commentator. He commentated on this tournament alongside Michael Owen, Scott Quinnell, Gavin Hastings, Paul Wallace, Phil Vickery John Taylor, Andrew McKenna & David Campese. The coverage was shortlisted in the Broadcast of the Year category in the 2011 Sport’s Journalists Awards.
Moore has had books published by Simon & Schuster. His updated version of his autobiography, Beware of the Dog (2009), won the 2010 William Hill Sports Book of the Year award, among what was described as one of the strongest shortlists ever assembled.
LP 1 Jason Leonard
Leonard played in England teams which won four Grand Slams (1991, 1992, 1995 and 2003) and the 2003 Rugby World Cup, and was part of the British and Irish Lions squad that won the test series during their 1997 tour of South Africa.
Leonard is involved in several charities. In Jan 2009 he became Lead Ambassador of the Wooden Spoon Society, a charity for disadvantaged children and young persons that has its roots founded in rugby. In 2011, he became President of Sparks, the children’s medical research charity which funds pioneering research into conditions affecting the health of babies, children and pregnant women. Jason started his own charity, The Atlas Foundation, in 2015. It focuses on creating social change for poor children around the world using rugby as the vehicle.
