As an Englishman I loved watching the Welsh club games in the eighties when I was playing. This game has pace and shape like the modern game. Good luck verse France for the slam tonight.

Thanks for the post! I love watching great club sides like Pooler and the now, sadly, non existant SW Police who provided other clubs and country with quality players eg Hugh Williams-Jones, John Wakeford, Martyn Morris, Richie Collins, Ian Hemburrow, Bleddyn Bowen, Steve Sutton.

The good old days Pontypool, SW Police, Newport, Llanelli, Bridgend, Swansea etc. all playing Gloucester at Kingsholm

Not to mention Pontypridd's legendary "Beast", Greg Prosser!

[@robertroberts2666]

Greg Prosser was a giant in more ways than one!

[@robertroberts2666]

Greg was nicknamed "The Beast" tongue in cheek by the Ponty faithful as he really was a gentle giant!

Haha I've just shown this to my old man Bleddyn Snr. Not sure where his accent has gone.

Strangely I now play rugby with the son of the SWP full back. Small World.
