Bill Mclaren

[TheRiddler]

Sad news overnight that the legendary and iconic Scottish rugby commentator Bill Mclaren has passed away. Truly a great man with a sublime and unsurpassed ability to eloquently talk about the game without going over the top. Mssrs Kearns, Martin, Bray, Handy et al have a lot to learn.
