Extracted from an email from Mike Shearn:
You'll recognise Tibs in the front row, second from the right,and Dan in the equivalent position on the left.
I (Mike) am in the 2nd row(no pun intended) 4th from the right.
Far right back row is not Johnny Johnson but '?' Lorrimer- I think.
Second from the left at back is Julian Hyatt-Smith; he was as hard as nails, and a very good fly-half. His tackling in particular was something to be marvelled at.
The lad on Dan's right is Maynard Loveless. A smashing lad, very gentle and unassuming but dynamite on the park-very strong and very fast. He would go into a loose maul with the ball, 2 sets of forwards would form around him and he would exit solo from the maul on the oppositions side and bear down swiftly on their line. You might remember him from athletics because I know that he used to sprint for the school.

Lorimer's first name was Andy, I think
Back row far right is Andy Lorryman.
Front centre (with ball) Captain Jeremy Lane.
Anyone out there with photos and/or info about the 1st XV tour to Jersey in February 1966 and the 1st XV match around the same time against the Bill Lawrence XV which included former International players Richard Sharpe (England & Lions) and Tom Kieran (Ireland), among others?
