SECOND-ROW
4. Willie John McBride (Ireland) – “Reached peaks of leadership, endeavour and courage that marked him out as one from the very top drawer.”
5. Gordon Brown (Scotland) – “He had the build of a bison, revelled in scrummaging and was an artful specialist in all of the line-out roles and ruses, developing during the 1974 tour the same resolve to meet fire with fire as demonstrated by his captain and boilerhouse partner, McBride.”
