Quote: tvoc "[i]John Holmes is my only ever RL hero. The player I loved to watch when I was growing up (and then as a young adult), the player I always wanted to be in the playground rugby. I only met him once but it was a pleasure.

I completely share those sentiments - my heor too. Some of us are just too far away to have been able to make it tonight, but we were there in spirit. Truly moving to see so many heroes on the pitch at the beginning. And some of the play from McGuire, Burrow and Sinfield was a fitting commemoration to John Holmes.
