An interesting SOTA thought flashed across my mind as I was watching “Les Bleus” getting beaten by “Les Ross Biff” (with apologies to our French SOTA colleagues for my appalling French grammar… and the result) on Saturday evening.
Did anyone get a “spitting image” or “separated at birth” moment when seeing Bernard Laporte, the French coach? Does he remind you of a certain (highly accomplished) SOTA activator?
Now I’ve only seen photographs of both and of course neither of them in the flesh… but is there something we don’t know about someone’s extra-SOTA activities. Maybe that is (was?) his day job under a pseudonym…
I know the genuine article Marc and yes I see what you mean. Nice image on www.scrum.com - obviously scowling at not being able resolve a callsign out of that 40m CW pileup. A rare moment indeed!
