'Out of the night that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole/
I thank whatever Gods may be for my unconquerable soul...'
Joe goes back to his childhood rugby club (Eastleigh RFC) and talks about life, courage and odd-shaped balls, as well as this cracker of a poem.
Speech at the start from Ian McGeechan before the second test against the Springboks in Durban, 1997. Geech and Jim Telfer were both teachers, and it shows when you watch the magical documentary 'Living With Lions'.
