British medal for an Irish Lion as Wood is honoured

RUGBY greats Jeremy Guscott, Keith Wood, Ian McGeechan and Scott Gibbs were honoured with the presentation of Parliamentary Rugby Medals at a dinner at the House of Commons last night.

The quartet have been recognised for their exploits with the British and Irish Lions.

Former Ireland captain Wood said: "It's the first time since 1997 all four of us have spent any time together. It's great to have your sport recognised by a government even if it's not your own, as in my case."
