A line from Jonathan Davies made me laugh ....

I was lucky . I got to know Barry John from a young age . We went to the same school. But obviously not at the same time .
Barry John did play for Llanelli before Cardiff. Think he had a teaching job in Cardiff so that was the that.

Didn't Gareth Edwards attended college in Cardiff.

Rugby still amateur at the time so both would've played where they could, easiest and cheapest for them.
