Vicarian Day 4 - Leadership

Tomorrow is the OIRFC President's Lunch. 

It is my absolute favourite day of the year, so I thought it poignant to take some time and ponder about those great Presidents that have reigned over the mighty OIRFC.

In my personal opinion Old Iggies have been blessed with some great leaders:

President Bryant (aka JF Kennedy), for his 1st term

President Bryant (aka Obama ) for his current term

President Timmins (aka Fidel Castro )

President Easy (aka George W)

President Richards (aka Gorbachev) 

President Fahey (aka Ronnie Regan)

President Brennan (aka William H. Harrison)

President Bain (aka Nixon)

But my favourite is without doubt

President Xavier Craven, the "Bill Clinton" on Old Iggies.  

Why you may ask? 

For many this will be a irrational choice. . . . . 

For me it is all about character.

It is all about determination.

It is all about focus.

It is all about an unwillingness to veer from your goals.

It is all about never giving up no matter the obstacles

and it is all about leading your men straight into battle despite the danger

Now, none of this makes sense unless you watch this video of Xavier in action. 

It is a clear example of Xavier's stubborn determination and unwillingness to change his course.  The video is of the Riverview First XIII and Xavier is their Stroke and Leader.

When people told Xavier to stop . . .  

NO! He kept going.

When people told Xavier to change his course . . . . 

NO! He ploughs straight ahead.

See you tomorrow.
