    Name two post-war Irish rugby internationals whose surname ends in the letter O.

    There's actually three but two of them have the same surname.

    If anybody really wants to impress, they can name one from between the wars whose surname also ends in an O (he was actually quite famous), and if anybody wants to admit to being a complete anorak, they can name the pre-First World War player, of whom I have never heard.

    Woodcutter must have the same book I do. Right on all counts.

    Though how he knows that RC Gotto was known as Bertie is beyond me.

    Costello(s) and Saverimutto were the only ones since 1945.
