On
June 22nd Houston & Texas rugby enthusiasts will gather for the 4th annual
luncheon. Former players, coaches, & the local expat community will
join again to listen to internationally prominent speakers and enjoy the
company of team mates and past opponents all for the benefit of local HS & youth teams.
George
Hook who lists on his rugby CV: coach of
Connaught, London Irish, assistant coach for the USA at the 1987 Rugby World
Cup, columnist for the Irish Independent, RTE rugby analyst, and host of the #1
radio show in Ireland is back again.
There will be more speakers and we have the obvious draw of the US and
Italy so stay close. Some classic Hook lines:
This lad
puts his head where you wouldn't put a blacksmith's anvil.
-on Schalk
Burger
"they're
using statistics in the same way that a drunk uses a lamp-post...to prop
himself up"
"You
can add Thomond Park to Fatima, Knock and Lourdes. The lame will come here and walk,
they'll be selling water here, because this defies logic."
- RTÉ's George Hook after Munster beat
Gloucester 33-6 in the European Cup
"The
last time a ball went that far it had a stewardess on board"
-about a long
Irish kick
