While reading the book about the Operation Black Buck, I was impressed that Hawaii and the Falklands were at the same distance from London.
Catching up on this one, my immediate thought was "no way!" but it is. the extra bit of trivia is that they are actually just about three equidistant points.

Who was the first non-white to play rugby for the Springboks?

I'm wondering if it wasn't Old Etonians, Corinthian Casuals or similar - not a modern-day top flight club

Or am I thinking of the FA Cup?
