Half tidy cricketer as well played against in the mid/late 80s when he played for Llanelli - Nice guy off the pitch as well

A very special outside half and those of us, of a certain age, certainly looked upon him as a stand out player of that era.RIP.

Yep the one v Scotland is probably my favourite try ever. By the end of it four or five Scots were on the floor. The inside pass by Fenwick....

With of course Bill McLaren’s commentary.
Edwards at 9, Bennett at 10.I don’t think it ever gets better than that.

I was lucky enough to see that live. What a memory, and what a part Gerald twinkle toes Davies played in it!

I watched it at home with my dad who of course loved it. Gerald Davies played a big part too. The glory days of Welsh rugby.
