The Welsh Rugby Union was formed in 1881 in Glamorganshire, to organise a match between England and Wales.
However, rugby union in Wales quickly developed and by the turn of the century Wales was one of the most feared teams in international rugby with a system that would alter the face of the game.
John Dawes was coach of the Welsh national side from 1974 until 1979.

John Taylor had all the skills required to perfect the art of the flanker.
An intelligent and thoughtful man, Taylor was appalled by the treatment of his fellow man under the apartheid regime he had witnessed on that Lions tour and on his return home he told Welsh selectors that he did not want to be considered for the Springboks visit to Cardiff in 1969.
Taylor only returned to the Welsh fold for the final game of the Five Nations the following year, but it was in the 1971 Championship in which the flanker became a hero, his late conversion to a try by Davies in the corner snatching a 19-18 win over Scotland at Murrayfield.

He will want his players training full-on and they will try to give him everything but they are still human and that fear of a muscle strain or knock which could ruin all they have been working towards for the past year or more will be there in the background.
Part of the joy when I was touring with the Lions was to see several thousand locals turn out on occasions to watch us practise and it is often the only chance for supporters who have travelled thousands of miles to see their heroes up close.
Their biggest problem is getting their top players to turn out for them and it is not something which can be easily solved.

The refereeing of Peter Marshall in the game against the ACT Brumbies was a disgrace (a top International Rugby Board official confirmed in Melbourne that he will insist on action being taken) and most of the others were 'homers' to a lesser extent.
In these days, when every player has an agent and every agent a team of lawyers, contracts are a nightmare but the management has been severely undermined on this tour by the appalling behaviour of Austin Healey and Matt Dawson.
If it is impossible in law to stop players writing newspaper columns they must be asked to declare them before the touring party is picked and the selectors should take that into account.

Prior to the tour there were many questions raised as to whether a Welshman was the correct choice of captain on account of their reputation for insularity.
However Dawes was the preferred selection of both the team manager and the coach and he had the approval and respect of all the players for his balanced approach and his superb play.
At the end of his playing career, after 22 caps for Wales and 4 Lions Tests, Dawes was appointed coach of the national team and in 1977 coached the British Lions on their tour to New Zealand.
