Love it! Nice to see the Luctonians playing such a prominent part. I have a couple of (very minor) connections with that esteemed club. There used to be discos held in their clubhouse (just over the road from the now-defunct pub) when I was a teen. Seen a lot of punch-ups in that place, though there were never Communists or German paratroopers involved. Additionally, the Luctonians RFC was originally called The Old Luctonians (it was a team founded by former pupils of Lucton School). My father went to Lucton school, and I myself was offered the chance to sit an exam to win a scholarship there (I was a right swot), but I never took the exam, because I didn't want to go to a public school, I wanted to go to the state school in Wigmore where all my friends were going. So in a parallel universe somewhere, Plynkes himself is an Old Luctonian, maybe even a rugby player.
Mrs. Lucton's School for Troublesome and Wayward Girls, from one of my entries in last year's LPL, also took its named from the aforementioned esteemed school:

Obligatory Herefordshire nit-picking: The Old Luctonians rugby club wasn't formed until post-WWII as far as I know, but as usual, who bloody cares?
