Just seen this sad news.  The first of the modern running full-backs on which they are all modelled these days.  Every so-often a sportman or woman really changes the game they play and he was one of them.  What a team the Welsh one of the 70s was, even as an Englishman they were a joy to watch.  I will have to dust off my DVD of the Barbarians v All Blacks 1973.

It was only late last year that The Oldie magazine had an article about Glynis Johns being about to turn a hundred.
