The coroner, Bernadette Boss, said the death of the “exceedingly experienced ultra-endurance cyclist” should be a “catalyst for change” to improve safety on the country’s roads.
Alex was a brilliant coach but he had time with the Cardiff players. When he came into the club he liked a certain type of player to play and it took him a year or two to get rid of some of those he didn't want and bring in his own staff to mould the team how he wanted it. Hall had a position with the BBC as a rugby pundit on both the Welsh focused Scrum V, as well at international rugby events, but quit due to business commitments at the end of the 2004–5 season. [2] We had people like Clough, Wainwright, Chris Oti in the team but we were the underdogs going into the game against Oxford because at the time they had the Rhodes Scholars so they had David Kirk, Brendan Mullin, Bill Calcraft and Bob Egerton.When Alan and Bob Norster were thrown out, the WRU turned to Alec Evans because he was the most successful club coach in Wales. You hear the current generations speak equally glowingly, despite the changes the game has gone through in the past two decades, but why does it mean so much? After initially qualifying with a degree in English and French, Joanne worked as a journalist in London. She then turned to teaching full time and worked in several London-based schools before moving to Ashford School as Head of English in 2013. Joanne took on the role of Deputy Head (Academic) in 2018. She has developed a Curriculum Philosophy for the Senior School and has overseen the introduction of new GCSE courses such as Global Perspectives. Working closely with Heads of Faculty and the Data Analyst, Joanne is committed to ensuring that academic rigour lies at the heart of the School’s assessment and progress approaches, as well as programmes of study. I was a bit shaken and thinking there’s something wrong here, my shoulder doesn’t seem to be right.
But the following week, Radio Wales rang me and that really took off. I ended up doing a lot of radio and television. I had some great fun with Eddie Butler and Jonathan (Davies) doing ScrumV. The BBC actually put me on a presenting course and offered me a job. I did all the training in the studio and they wanted me to sign a contract. What it did show us is some of the players we had in the so-called fringes weren’t good enough and Alec went about changing a few of those.If you were getting the better of someone and they wanted to try and disrupt you, they would send it through. If they went down, you would go over the top of them or send a knee into them. If you look at these Lions trips now, they take 45 players and the management is about 40 strong,” he said. Riding unsupported, competitors were expected to complete the race within 14 days. On 31 March, Hall had set off along the Monaro Highway, which had a 100km/h (62mph) speed limit, shortly before 3am. An inquest held last year heard that at around 6.20am he was hit by a car in the northbound lane of the road, which narrowed near an intersection. I’ve had boots in the head, scars on my head, right the way down. You never complained, you just got on with it.”
