[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 774398, member: 73592"] FTR - it was Guscott and Tindall who refused to wear the 13 shirt - Bath didn't have one at that time, having retired it after a couple of players died wearing 13 (IIRC). Greenwood was very much an IC; who only really played OC when paired with Catt - though he'd wear 13 when paired with Tindall, he'd play IC whilst Tins played OC. Guscott was an out-and-out OC, who wore 14 for Bath and 12 for England; whilst Carling, an IC who could turn his hand to OC wore 13 whilst playing 12. None of the above had anything to do with playing left and right; but superstition taken from club to international level. [/QUOTE]
