Tyrone Shoelaces Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 What trophy ? I thought they'd just gone for a bit of an early summer holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan75 Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 The winners of the 3 test series between the Ausies and the Lions win the Tom Richards Trophy - summer holiday my backside - if some footballers put in the same commitment into their game as the rubgy players then maybe just maybe we could have some hope of the national team winning something.

Guest Norbert Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 He's one of those League fanatics Alan75. You know the sort, everyone who has ever played, watched or thought about Union is a Surrey based solicitor, whilst every League fan is an honest, 'arrd wokin; Nathen lad who take t'tram down t'road t' game after working 48 hours a day oonlaahhke t'southern softehs.

Alan75 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Try a google search http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Richards_(rugby_union) Thomas James "Rusty" Richards MC (29 April 1882 – 25 September 1935)[2] was an Australian military officer and national representative rugby union player, who was born at Vegetable Creek, Emmaville in New South Wales. Richards was the only player to ever play for both Australia and the British Lions, thus, the Tom Richards Trophy is named in his honor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Norbert Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Vegetable Creek. What a good name for a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave birch Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Emmaville, Home of Debbie Wells, known as the Emmaville express. I'm sure that the Tom Richards Trophy is only played between the Lions and the Wallabies. Not when the Lions play NZ or SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
