You knock me down and I’ll be finding

Take a step back and then snap your picture.”
Sir Colin Meads –
Pro rugby star, coach, human pinetree.
June 3, 1936 – August 20, 2017.
Aged 81 years.
Most recognized for: When considering what the name ‘Babe Ruth’ means to America’s national pastime, ‘Sir Colin Meads’ is held in comparable reverence when it comes to rugby. Named “Player of the Century” in 1999, he was once the star of New Zealand’s national team “The All Blacks.” Sorry… were you expecting a racial sex joke? Shame on you.
