| Activity | Lock, occasional No. 8, played for Taibach RFC, Aberavon RFC, Bridgend RFC, Barbarian FC and Wales (1967-1968, 6 caps, 0 points). His international debut came at Murrayfeld, 4 February 1967, as Wales opened the defence of their title against the Scots with six new caps: John O’Shea, Brian Rees, Billy Mainwaring, John Taylor, Billy Hullin and Billy Raybould. A famous story is that during a hard-fought game against Cardiff RFC at the Talbot Athletic Ground Billy Mainwaring had Gareth Edwards by the jersey and his mother Evelyn, herself a Wizards legend, shouted to her son "Put him down, Billy, he's playing for Wales on Saturday." |
