Looking forward to telling the @Gallipoli100 about the great Blair Swannell this morning. One of my favourite characters from rugby’s great history, whose reputation has been tarnished for far too long.

Hopefully our tributes to Walter Tull have helped make more people aware of his story, his bravery and his sacrifice. We would like to say a huge thank you to @GrahamMcKechnie and @CookseyJon for their work in helping us pay tribute to a remarkable man, they have been fantastic.
