[QUOTE="BrokenWing, post: 1165650, member: 78933"] Somewhat unrelated, but the one thing I noticed in this video was the graphic of the 1991 England team and the team jerseys of the centres being the wrong way around... Carling (Harlequins) was the IC and Guscott (Bath) the outside. I have subsequently found out today that in 1919, Clifford Walwyn, the Bath 13, died after being injured in a match and that number was retired. So for Bath, Guscott wore 14 and for England he wore 12, maintaining the Bath tradition, with Carling wearing 13. Which mean when making this video they very probably just looked at the numbers on the team sheet. This may be old news to some people but I've never really thought about it before and thought it was an interesting coincidence. [/QUOTE]
