    One of the greatest speeches ever. Short but powerful. I would follow this man to certain death 😂 On a serious note this speech is not just for rugby players, or athletes but for people in general. Honesty and hard graft are such important qualities in life. Something which the older generation probably had more than today's generation. Top man Jim Telfer 👏
