    I will always remember when he first started playing for Ireland…the intensity…the attitude….the desire…the dog...the flash of his dark hair and wild eyes! He has never willingly taken a backward step in the green or red jersey. He is a true Irish rugby legend. I will always be grateful for his try-saving intercept against NZ. .

    Peter has always been my hero, unassuming off the field and a roaring tiger on it.
