I've been asked to translate Liliane Giraudon's "Mon Beckett." Easy
enough, except that I'm stumped by one phrase. The poem is a litany,
each phrase beginning with "Beckett." Here's the phrase in question:
"Beckett jouant au rugby (trois quart centre)." I assume that trois
quart centre is a position, but the only positions I know in rugby
are on top or underneath. Any suggestions?
If no brits or hibernians can enlighten me I suppose I'll have to appeal to Oz.
