I was there but missed the action

- Owen Welch

THE internatio­nal match between an England B XV and a Soviet Union XV at Franklin’s Gardens in 1989 was mentioned recently and I just want to say that I was there that day.

In the first half all the action took place at the far end from me, so I stayed put expecting the second half to be the same. Well, it was, but not as I expected, as all the action took place at the same end, so I missed most of the excitement.

Were programmes issued? If anyone has a copy to spare, I would be willing to pay a reasonable price for it.
