Irish Times Six Nations Crossword

conf101

Lads is anyone else trying this six nations crossword that's in the Irish Times Six Nations supplement that came with yesterdays paper? I've it almost done but I've four words left and they're doing my head in! Anyone feel like helping out and ending my misery?

Here are the ones I haven't gotten yet:

Across:
4. Cork Swindle (3): C**
22. Kiwi Opener (4): ***A
58. Does it make the French boys wink? (4): ***K

Down:
53. There is one in Shannon (4): I*L* (All I can think of that fits in here is 'isle' but I've no idea how that works)


Anyone offer any help? T'would be much appreciated

are you sure about the "C" in 31? It looks like its an anagram of belt kate but there is no C in that....

I think it's Morgan even though according to wikipedia he didn't actually captain Wales until 1956 but he did play in the 1952 5 nations and he's the only Welsh captain from around that time that fits in!

I put down NONU as it seemed to be referring to a particular player rather than the union
