	BBC SPORT \| Rugby Union \| International \| David Watkins: The long road home
		David Watkins had enjoyed an explosive start to his rugby league career, but things were about to get a lot more difficult.
		Watkins was also asked to take over goal-kicking responsibilities, and he did it so well that he broke all the club's scoring records.
		Watkins had always maintained close links with Newport rugby union club and returned as chairman in 1992, part of a consortium of former players hoping to turn the side around after they had fallen on hard times.

		Among the Welsh rugby establishment union has, until relatively recently, been the religion while league was its heretic cousin that used the lure of filthy lucre to poach players and deprive the national union side of pure bred talent - how things have changed.
		Because of the regular interchange of players Welsh rugby league has always found itself in a pioneering position in breaking down barriers and the Welsh have done more than most to ensure the melting of the one time frosty relationship between the two rugby codes.
		One player lucky enough to miss the punishing training session on Thursday because of his continued involvement in the Super League play-offs was St Helens' flying wing Anthony Sullivan, son of the legendary Clive Sullivan who was born in Cardiff and as passionate a Welshman as you can find.

	History of Newport RFC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Newport Rugby Club has had many successful seasons but when one looks at what this club has achieved and contributed both to the game in Wales and world-wide they will see that it can rightfully claim to be one of the greatest rugby clubs in the world.
		In 1880 they were founder members of the Welsh Rugby Union and provided the first ever Honorary Secretary Mr R Mullock who served from 1880 to 1892.
		Many players sort fame and fortune with other clubs and in the 1990's Newport struggled to come to terms with professionalism and it was only after the generous support of benefactor Tony Brown that Newport halted their decline in 1999.

		The Welsh Rugby Union acts under the auspices of the International Rugby Board (IRB), which could have seen Montgomery face anything from a 24-month to a life suspension.

		Jackson added that SA Rugby (Pty) Ltd had told Montgomery that they would consider him for selection if he returned to South Africa for domestic duty, only for his suspension to nip a possible return in the bud.

	Second Division Table
		A Welsh League of eight teams was established in 1949/50 concentrating on the area around Neath and Abertillery but a combination of little money and lack of grounds meant it never established itself.
		Their managing director was the legendary David Watkins, who had been a superstar at both Union and League, and their coach was the former St Helens Lion John Mantle.
		The new owners immediately came under pressure from the Welsh FA who wanted Ninian Park as their permanent headquarters and were opposed to ground sharing with rugby league.

	RL1908 - Rugby League Archive
		The idea of Rugby League as virus or contagion and Rugby Union as shelter or nest is also conveyed by the Sports Editor of the Western Mail, John Kennedy, in a 1990 article he wrote on the scouting activities of Rugby League clubs in the Welsh valleys.
		Rugby League, on the other hand, a game often pilloried in Britain for its provincial values and its unwillingness to spread beyond a narrow, northern corridor, has wholeheartedly embraced the ideal of multiracialism throughout its history.
		Rugby League has been seen as the psychopathic offspring, the fugitive infant on the run from history, while the loss of a protecting and advising parent has never allowed it to be embraced or forgiven.

		Pickering said at the time: "Welsh rugby was a winner on the field in the Six Nations, but the good work off the field of everyone involved in our national sport and our national stadium has helped us to deliver record profits for the WRU Group.

		He's a great player and his work rate is absolutely unbelievable, he gives 110 per cent every week and the amount of tackling he does is extraordinary.

	About
		The players were shown how children in many of the world's most deprived areas enjoy sports, but would benefit greatly from kind hearted people coming onboard as their sponsor and help to provide sports equpment.
		Despite being a player down, the visitors were starting to turn the screw and pin Pool back in their own half and on 18 minutes, such was the growing confidence of the visitors that they turned down a kickable penalty to go for touch and an attacking lineout.
		On 21 minutes, each side had a player sin-binned and it was ironic that while Wrexham had two players off the field of play they enjoyed their best spell of possession during the game, leading to an indiscretion after 23 minutes, which resulted in a successful penalty and the score at a nailbiting 9-8.

	Gus Risman
		The Cardiff rugby union club were interested in him, and so were Tottenham Hotspur, whose scouts arrived at his home hoping to secure a left-half, only to find that he had just signed up for a career as a fall-back, centre or wing three-quarter and stand-off half at The Willows instead.
		He had been there before, when Salford beat Barrow in 1938 and a famous photograph was taken of Gus and the cup being carried shoulder high round the stadium by his team-mates, and he the only one without a cigarette in his hand.
		For Workington, in a sense, he was even more effective for they had been in the Northern Rugby League for only one season when he joined them in August 1946, and their greatest need was for someone who knew the ropes and could inspire a promising but raw young side.

		Some familiar Welsh names are poised to return to rugby league this summer when the new Welsh Conference competition kicks off in the week after the Challenge Cup final in Cardiff on May 3.

		London include nine British players in their 17 for tonight's televised Super League game against Warrington at Griffin Park, as they did in their impressive win at Hull two weeks ago - a big contrast to the last couple of years when they have often had a starting 13 without a single homegrown player.

	Welsh Rugby League
		Coached by dual international David Watkins, Newport have made giant strides since their narrow opening day defeat against an injury ravaged Fighting Irish, and their resounding victory over a fancied Torfaen Tigers outfit during the recent Bank Holiday period, displayed their play—off credentials.
		But they arrived at a breezy Little Warren minus a few of their key players, and despite an impressive opening quarter, were no match for an Aberavon side for who Taibach’s James Jones and Glyncorrwg based Rhodri Milsom were making their debuts.
		Matthew Rowlands, playing only his second game of rugby league, looked assured under the high ball at full back and powerful with the ball in hand, and his try 10 minutes before the interval was just reward for his efforts since taking up the game.
