Stone the flamin’ crows - out-half Alf Stewart consoled O’Driscolls after BOD’s Lions axe

Ireland’s favourite Australian was in Cork this weekend and Ray Meagher is as much a darn good bloke as Alf himself.

When he isn’t marshalling a search and rescue team for the monthly local emergency, or manning a multi-faceted business empire, or fishing; Alf Stewart has put in some bloody hard yakka during his 27 years on Home and Away, schooling many of the young dropkicks of Summer Bay in footy or cricket or rugby.

But not many know that Ray Meagher was a top class rugby player as well as an award-winning actor.
