schema:articleBody	Former England rugby captain John Pullin has died aged 79 after a long illness, his old club Bristol announced Friday. A hooker renowned for his scrummaging strength, Pullin, a farmer all his working life, won 42 caps in a decade from 1966. In an era where they largely struggled in the Five Nations, Pullin was involved in England's home and away wins over South Africa in 1969 and 1972 respectively before leading the team to a shock victory over New Zealand in Auckland in 1973. Pullin also made seven Test appearances for the British and Irish Lions and starred in their 1971 series win over the All Blacks. In addition, he played in the Barbarians' celebrated 1973 win over New Zealand in Cardiff, being the only non-Welshman involved in a length of the field move that culminated in outstanding scrum-half Gareth Edwards scoring what many still consider to be rugby union's greatest try. But Pullin is perhaps best remembered for being captain of the England side that travelled to Ireland for a Five Nations match in 1973, a year after Wales and Scotland had refused to play in Dublin because of terror threats from the Irish Republican Army, which wanted an end to British control of Northern Ireland. With the so-called 'Troubles' still at their height -- 18 people had died as a result of acts of violence on the island of Ireland in the first four weeks of 1973 -- England received a standing ovation when they took the field at Lansdowne Road. England, however, lost 18-9, a defeat which prompted Pullin to say at the post-match dinner: "We may not be much good, but at least we turn up." jdg/dj
