R.I.P merv :ayatollah: as you do being welsh, I was brought up listening to some great storys about the 70s welsh rugby team and the singing from the welsh fans in the old cardiff arms park! And although I'm not a big rugby fan, I'm still proud of our rugby heritage from back in the 70s :ayatollah: here's hoping wales can emulate the great 70s sides by beating france saturday to make it 3grandslams in 8years :ayatollah:

Met "the swerve" once a few years ago at a local rugby club near me in London. True gentleman. Everyone, and I mean everyone in awe.

Talked about in the same breath as Gareth Edwards.

Will be sorely missed.

RIP Merv. Legend.
