  • PROPS – WORTH THEIR WEIGHT in GOLD? by IAN MALIN, RUGBY JOURNALIST and NEWS EDITOR at the GUARDIAN This Article Was Written in May 2007
    PROPS – WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD? BY IAN MALIN, RUGBY JOURNALIST AND NEWS EDITOR AT THE GUARDIAN This article was written in May 2007. England Saxons recently named a squad for this spring’s Churchill Cup and the side’s coach, Jim Mallinder, had to dig pretty deep to unearth a group of forwards. With England’s frontline squad in South Africa already shorn of players from European Cup finalists Leicester, Wasps and Bath, some unfamiliar names were included in Mallinder’s squad. A potential Saxons front row could have been the London Irish veteran Neil Hatley, his club-mate David Paice and the Northampton prop John Brooks, who is moving this summer to Harlequins. All of them are capable players but, with the greatest respect to them, they would probably walk unrecognised down their own streets. And one was born in South Africa, another in Australia and another New Zealand. So, is there a national shortage of props? England suddenly have a plethora of exciting young fly-halves, one that would not have disgraced Wales’s once famous fly-half factory. Ryan Lamb, Shane Geraghty, Adrian Jarvis and Danny Cipriani will hopefully be vying for the England No10 shirt come 2011, but where are England’s young endomorphs? Perhaps a reality TV programme, call it Prop Idol, could unearth a few. Gloucester’s Jack Forster, who was also in the Saxons squad, and David Wilson, the promising young giant from Newcastle, are two of the fancied names to fly to New Zealand in four years time. But the most significant signing of the year in the Guinness Premiership is surely Carl Hayman, by far the best tight-head prop in the world, a wrecking-ball of a man who also, as England discovered at Twickenham last autumn, has a fair turn of speed too.

    Now in Our Welcome, 31st Year! George Alexander Vol. 31 No. 5 August 2013 Louis BRITAIN’S new prince has been named George Alexan- der Louis. Speculation over what moniker Prince William and his wife, Kate, would pick for their first child ended just two days after the baby’s birth. Kensington Palace said the royals were “delighted to announce” their son’s name, adding that the Two-day-old baby and third-in-line to the throne will be known as “His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.” Noble names are steeped in history, which explains why thousands of bets rolled in to British bookmakers for the name George, the name of six previous British kings. The moniker evokes the steadfastness of the queen’s father, George VI, who rallied the nation during World War II. Meaning farmer or earth worker, George was the 12th most popular name for boys born in England and Wales in 2011. St George, a fourth-century Chris- tian martyr, is the patron saint of England.

The announcement, made on state television by Morsi’s own defence minister, armed forces chief General Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, drew a rapturous welcome from the protesters who have camped out on the streets of Cairo for days. Sisi also announced a freezing of the Islamist-drafted consti- tution and early presidential elections. Thousands of people immediately took to the streets of the capital to cel- ebrate, cheering, whistling, letting off firecrackers, and honking car horns in joyous scenes. But Morsi’s office rejected the move as “illegal” and called on Egyptians to peacefully resist the “coup”. A state- ment published in Morsi’s name on his official Facebook page after Sisi’s speech said the measures announced amounted to “a full military coup” and were “totally rejected”. Morsi, Egypt’s first freely elected president, came under massive pressure in the run-up to Sunday’s anniversary of his maiden year in office, with his opponents accusing him of failing the 2011 revo- lution by concentrating power in Islamist hands. The embattled 62-year-old pro- posed a “consensus government” as a way out of the country’s worst crisis since the 2011 uprising ended three decades of authoritarian rule by Hosni Mubarak.
