  Scott Gibbs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scott Gibbs (Born 23 January 1971 in Bridgend) is a former rugby union footballer who represented Wales and the Lions in Union and Wales and Great Britain in League.
In later years Gibbs was sometimes criticised for being too one-dimensional but he did show startling agility to claim the winning try in the last-ever Five Nations match in 1999.
Gibbs has now retired from rugby (with 53 caps for Wales) but can still be seen contributing to the BBC's rugby union coverage.
