  • Gregan is class personified

    Just listened to the Gregan episode. I’m an England and naturally Lions fan but always loved watching Mr Gregan, such a great competitor. I have to commend the KOKO boys on their analysis of the Lions 2nd test and just sat in awe listening to Mr Gregan. Such a class act.
