As promised the answer to last week’s question about great tackles is Lt Haydn Mainwaring RM.  I have added Haydn Mainwaring to the Great Navy Players page with a full description of his tackle on Avril Malan in 1961.  I assure you it is well worth a read.  I am also sure that all followers of Navy Rugby wouldn’t mind a few such tackles on the 18th and 28th April.

The answer to the second question about an historic first is held in abeyance due to the cancellation of the Women’s game at Plymouth on Wednesday.

The Great Navy Players also has two other new entries.  Both are Scottish Internationals namely Cecil Abercrombie and Treymaine Rodd.
