I have been asked to explain the reference to Gareth Thomas. Here we go...
In the last, dead rubber test of the Lions tour of New Zealand, the Lions skipper was injured early on and Gareth "Alfie" Thomas as most experienced player on the field took over the armband. At half time, he gathered the team together for a now legendary team talk which went like this...
"Fellas, I've just got two words for the second half...Get fu**ing stuck in"
God bless Alfie...
