"He's my flatmate. He's called Bruce Anderson."
"Terrific name," said Angus Lordie. "You might play rugby for Scotland with a name like that. Cyril's name - Cyril Lordie - would be useless for rugby, wouldn't it? The selectors would choke on it and pass you by! You just can't play rugby if you're called Cyril, and that's all there is to it."

Poor Cyril.

Unless you'd like to give us the context for that amuzing quote.
Or is the randomness of such a posting the context for something larger in scope/topic? (Am I missing something? What arn't you telling me?)
: )
Just thought it was a funny quote. There isn't much context too it, just some people talking in a pub in the novel. I just thought it was humorous about not being able to play professional rugby with a name like Cyril. So, enjoy the randomness!
