This afternoon at Twickenham these new methods were put to their first major test against a South African XV who have recently discovered their true International form.

Radnoti: I wanted to be free all my life-and guards escorted me along the road'... Miklos Radnoti, an outstanding modern Hungarian poet, was killed by the Nazis 25 years ago. His life, death, his poetry are powerful indictments against man's bestiality to man: they add up to a plea for being human.
Alan Bates tells the story of Radnoti and reads some of his poems.
