(It’s it’s own sovereign nation, don’t ye know)

Position: Flanker, Second Row

Fun Fact: Erin prefers to tackle with her head because her shoulders get sore…  It’s some mystery then as to how she broke her leg, as it's nowhere near either of these things. Helping Gumbo to keep up the British count; we’re too afraid to tell her CYM stands for Catholic Young Men.
