AUTUMN INTERNATIONALS:A GRAZE on the side of his head and a couple of Twickenham nicks around the eyes. The massive bulk. An easy, uncomplicated manner. The yards mark themselves out on Rocky Elsom’s face and body, but this time he is back in hostile mode and with the fresh scalp of England in his kit bag.

Mention the word bombing in relation to Dublin, and what comes to mind for most people is the murder and maiming by UVF car bombs in May 1974. But over a quarter of century earlier, a night of such death and destruction occurred that it remains as vivid as if it was yesterday for those who survived it.

I was also looking to see if there was a long sleeve top that matched the supplied Adidas kit but there was only a short sleeve top. The night before the marathon I was in Italian restaurant with some...
