SECOND-ROW:
Chris Gray (Scotland): “Great man he was. Loved playing next to him.”
Simon Shaw (England): “I think he is one of the most underrated players in recent history. He had everything.”
BACK-ROW:
Richard Hill (England/Lions): He was fantastic guy and a terrific player, someone I got to know really well on that trip (1997 Lion). But in terms of bedroom manners, he was abysmal.
Rob Wainwright (Scotland/Lions): “Someone I always loved playing with was Rob.”
Scott Quinnell (Wales/Lions): “I’ve known Scotty for a long time, as a rival, as a fellow tourist, as a pundit, and a lot of hospitality functions. He was the complete player.”
