Description

Three Grand Slams - including a try in the 2005 decider against Ireland - five Lions Tests and 129 caps for Wales. Some record. 10. Jonathan Davies (Jiffy) With his jagged side-step and blistering pace, Bennett was a nightmare to defend against, excelling on the hard grounds of South Africa for the invincible Lions of 1974. Earning 59 caps for Wales, he was skipper during the golden year of 1999, a Lions Test starter in Australia in 2001 and the try-scoring match-winner for Wasps in the 2004 Heineken Cup final. 24. JJ Williams A selfless player, he regularly took a shoeing to protect his team-mates, while he was in many ways the classic blindside flanker, doing so much donkey work, graft that at times went unseen or unheralded but was always recognised by his fellow players. 19. Sam Warburton With his wild hair and beard, this openside flanker was one of the most recognisable figures in Welsh rugby in the late 1960s and early ‘70s.

The stream of tributes paid following’s JJ’s sad death last year spoke volumes for the impression the winger had left on those who watched him play.

Location

At the after-match dinner that evening, the Welsh players were still simmering at being cheated out of a famous win. Two years earlier, I was a student watching the game in Cardiff over the fence and all of a sudden you are in there.

Before the start of the 1984/85 season, Cardiff City Blue Dragons relocated from Ninian Park in Cardiff, to Coychurch Road Ground in Bridgend, and were renamed Bridgend Blue Dragons. Meet Duhan van der Merwe, the 'most dangerous winger in the world' who has Wales in his sights after England wonder try His 30 caps in the centre for Wales brought him two Grand Slams, four Triple Crowns and 152 points, while he started all four Tests on the 1977 Lions tour of New Zealand. But the people are the most important thing. Wherever you go in the world, you will bump into somebody from rugby. An absolute force of nature, the Pontypool scrum-half was able to influence games like few others, with his strength, determination and winning mindset.You know someone is truly famous when they are known just by their initials. That’s JPR for you. 6. Shane Williams His studs screeching as he came to an immediate halt, Ray faced the spectator and asked, ‘What did you call me?’ Standing his ground, the fan replied ‘A Pommie bastard’, to which Ray said, ‘You can call me a bastard anytime, but never call me a Pommie bastard. I’m Welsh and proud of it!’ Suddenly he was Scotland’s problem. Felinfoel’s finest made 25 metres to halfway, taking advantage of the space that had opened up on the right hand side of the field. Wales go into Harlem Globetrotters mode A trademark sidestep took the Llanelli fly-half past two remaining Scots and a couple of others fell over at roughly the same time. Possibly, all those behind the posts fell over, too, such was the majesty of the step.
