Married to a Ballymoney lass. I knew her brother very well.

I have won club titles in two nations, and represented my country before moving into coaching. Two of my uncles and an aunt played international rugby, as did my brother. One of my great-uncles was a speedway world champion.

I own at least one Monet painting.

I have a knighthood.

Tony O Rielly?

What part gave it away? He must be the wealthiest rugby player of all time.

Indiana Jones was the link for me.

But he's no longer Ireland's top try scorer of all time, is he?

No, but he is the Barbarians top try scorer, hence I presume why 'international' team was in inverted comas.

She is not divorced, she is separated so technically...

Correct.

Sneaky ... I like it!

I was under the impression that she was divorced.

According to Gavin O'Reilly's wiki page (I know wiki is not always correct) they divorced in 2006.

He's not the Barbarians top try scorer. RH Williams is.

Ok but Alison Doody's says they are separated.

Piece of for Driver.

When he first moved to Newcastle as an 18-year-old, he had to ring his mum to check he did not need to take his passport with him to the supermarket to write a cheque.

After beating France in the first match of the Six Nations, rather than go out to celebrate, he stayed in and learned how to play chess.


He played one season of football when he was 10 and in his first game scored from the halfway line, but he gave up the sport because he felt he wasn't good enough and it was interfering with his rugby.

When former England centre Jeremy Guscott walked into the dressing room on the day of his international debut, he thought the 18-year-old had won a competition to spend the day with the national team.

He is a bit of a film buff but has been known to stand up his mates at the cinema if his kicking practice is not going well.

His grandfather, Phil, played football for Norwich

Jonny

Wilkinson

Spot on! Found the Guscott thing funny!

It is alright though not surprising that Guscott would be like that.

My mums name is Peggy.
I was called up to play for my country in a tour to SA while still in school. I declined cause I wanted to finish school.
When I first started playing professional rugby I had south side stitched into my boots.
I have over 60 international caps including one lions cap. I have won the six nations and heineken cup twice.

Gordan D'Arcy?
