R M A Kingswell
Richard Martin Alford Kingswell (1 August 1909 – 4 June 1992) was an English rugby union official who was president of the Rugby Football Union between 1972 and 1973. Whilst RFU president he received credit from the Irish rugby authorities and supporters for taking an England team to play in Dublin in 1973, after Wales and Scotland had refused to play their triple crown matches at Lansdowne Road, Dublin because of the Troubles. This promoted the famous quote from the England captain, John Pullin following England's defeat in the match, "We may not be very good but at least we turn up".
