Press clippings

It had a certain momentum, particularly towards the end, and Donald Houston, playing with vigour, converted a couple of tries. But it was basically a series of practical jokes - even funnier to those playing them than those on the receiving end.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 2nd April 1971
