The great rugby commentator's last game is this weekend, England v Australia.
He was a fine player himself of course, representing Scotland, but his finest commentary moment must surely be the 2003 World Cup final, which I'll type out, just because it still sends shivers down my spine:
"35 seconds to go, this is the one. It's coming back...to Jonny Wilkinson, he drops for World Cup glory. It's up...("YEAAAAAEEESSS!!" - Rob Andrew), it's OVER! Jonny Wilkinson is England's hero yet again, and there's no time for Australia to come back. England...have just won the World Cup"
Magnificent.
Long and happy retirement Robbo.
