So this bloke took league to Cambridge Uni... while we were busy losing to the Wallabies? Classic Kiwi export.
Good on him. Bet the pommy students had no idea what hit 'em. Rest easy, Dick.
right. Probably taught 'em how to drink too 😂
never heard of him but sounds like a legend. RIP mate
Hang on, the article says he established it in 1980. Cambridge had no league before that? Yeah right. Anyway, nice one Dick.

Another one gone. Hope they gave him a proper send-off with a beer and a pie.
and a pie? Piss off, he earnt a full roast and a keg. RIP Dick.
League at Cambridge? Should’ve started in Oxford if you ask me. But still, good innings.
can get stuffed. Cambridge all the way. But yeah, good on him.
Me dad played league back in the day. Says it’s the real game. This bloke spread the gospel. Chur.
Imagine the posh lads trying to tackle for the first time. 'I say, that was rather robust!'
haha imagine the posh boys hitting a hard tackle for the first time. would've been chaos.
