redfiona99Occasionally, because I am playing catch up, there is only one link. Sometimes this is a good thing.
Today's link is the Saints obituary for Tom van Vollenhoven - https://www.saintsrlfc.com/2017/10/21/vollenhoven-tribute-best/

He also scored *that try*. Every team has one, the try where you don't have to give details, you just say "the try" and everyone knows what you mean and plays it in their minds eye.
In that spirit, I give you - the van Vollenhoven try:
