Rugby Journal | Issue 28
Noel Murphy, the Irish Lion of 1959 and 1966, reflects on his life in rugby, sharing the highs, lows, and the one thing he regrets most. We also delve into the world of Lions memorabilia, from a shirt valued at £250k to the curious case of a Lions Disney plate.
Mike Catt, now coaching Waratahs, discusses his experiences with the Lions, Bath, England, and Australia. Meanwhile, Paddy Mayne, the source of some of the greatest Lions stories ever told, gets the spotlight. Stephen Larkham, a key figure in the 2001 series, looks ahead to the 2025 Lions tour.
We spent a day with the touring Fijians at their Irish camp, capturing their spirit and preparation. Also in the spotlight is Toulouse’s power couple, François and Jennifer Cros, while London Scottish Lions work their way up the rugby pyramid from their new Chiswick home and Maddie Feaunati, daughter of Samoan legend Zak, talks about her biggest rugby influence. Finally, 1995 Rugby World Cup final fly-halves, Joel Stransky and Andrew Mehrtens, share their personal perspectives on that iconic match.
