Rugby mourns Ireland Grand Slam hero Bertie O'Hanlon

The death has occurred in Cork of Bertie O’Hanlon, the last surviving member of the Irish team that won the Grand Slam and Triple Crown in the 1948 International Championship. 

One of rugby’s great gentlemen, he was in his 92nd year and will be greatly missed by all his friends in the Dolphin club and throughout the game in this country and further afield.
