Comments about this page
For a Rugby Fanatic there are a few things that light up the game and make you realise why Rugby can be so enjoyable. Zinzan Brooke, John Eales, and Ray Longland all played in the Scrum. All scored a lot of points for their side by scoring tries, conversions, and penalties, even drop goals. Not many players do that. Very few forwards even think about it. Ray Longland did. All the time.
1955
The first Ray Longland XV v Buckingham
The second picture of Ray Longland is taken at a Sports Day at Akeley Wood School, near Buckingham, approx 1972/3.
The blazer badge is the Barbarians crest, not British Lions.
