		Wales brought on fresh legs, and after good work from the forwards Sonny Parker fed Henson in the corner for his second try.

	Wales national rugby union team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wales compete annually in the Six Nations Championship (which they have won 23 times outright and are the 2005 champions) and in the World Cup every four years (best result so far: 3rd in 1987), which they also hosted in 1999.
		The Welsh Rugby Union was formed in 1881 in Glamorganshire, to organise a match between England and Wales.

	Preview of the British Lions vs. South Africa Match, 1997
		No doubt their experiences of being professional rugby players for far longer will be a large factor here, and obviously they must have been good players to have been asked to play league, but other qualities are surfacing.
		The defensive qualities of all four rugby league boys left are second to none, whilst their strength in attack has been displayed in their ability to either stay on their feet in contact, or go forward in the tackle.
		Whilst not overplaying the role of rugby league - after all, all these men played rugby union for a long time before becoming professional rugby league players - their experiences in league have undoubtably helped them become better players, and these are benefits that the Lions are now reaping.

		Rugby was one of 17 sports in the 1924 Olympics, which brought together 3,092 athletes from 44 countries.
		Should rugby be successful and become an Olympic sport once more, there would be significant benefits for the sport around the world, “It would be a tremendous boost for the sport globally as nations such as America, China and Russia put significant resources into their Olympic sports.

	History
		As legend has it, rugby was “invented” in 1823 during an intramural soccer match at a private boarding school in Rugby, England.
		The level of fitness among today’s top club and international rugby players is unsurpassed by any team sport, as eight big forwards (averaging 6’ 3” tall and 250 lbs.) are called upon to remain in constant support of their swift back line at all times.
		Rugby competition is exemplary of what the true sports fan craves, and with little explanation, rugby will prove to be the sport that offers the most bang for the buck.
