  Do they still have a Conkers World Championship.

  Poms are untouchable at Conkers.

  No Offence to Harry,
  But I’d prefer to see Jerry Adams,
  present the trophy.

  A fine British subject.
  A peace maker.
  A Republican.
  A man from the fringes of the UK.
  A representative of the working class.
  A representative of the downtrodden.
  A man who fought for others to be free.
  A man still hated by Protestant Paramilitaries for no other reason than he tried to help his people.
  A man born with a plastic spoon in his mouth.
  And a Guinness in his hand.

  Not Royalty I know.
  Born of perspiration and perseverance.
  Not aristocracy and privilege.

  Or perhaps the Mayor of London……………………………………..can’t remember his name………Boris I think.
  But a really cool dude, funny as well.

  Kia ora Cane…To see our great players bow out of test rugby brings a sense of pride and respect…Warriors all….Good to see a normal Royal in Harry presenting the Cup…Just hope it is to Richie….

  @ 5

  Yip, Boris is quite a cool dude… he has done more for cycling in London than for rugby and that is not a bad thing at all….

  But u are a tiny bit unfair towards Harry…to fly Apache helicopters in Afghanistan is not for the faint hearted i would say

  I like the rest of your post though..

  With the greatest of respect to your opinion, I really think that this is not the forum to introduce political discourse.

  But seeing that you have, I will give you my opinion of the murdering scumbag.

  He deserves to be twitching on the end of a hangman’s rope with the contents of his bladder staining his trouser leg.

  Now please, let’s keep religion and politics off Rugby-Talk.

  @ Scrumdown:

  Now if Harry was to ever apologise for the sins of the past, that might make a difference.

  Until then, Harry presenting the Cup, is just as Political as Jerry presenting the Cup.

  As for twitcting at the end of rope………………………………………..many of Jerry’s colleagues did just that.

  Such is the price of freedom.
