Aled 522 Posted January 9, 2024 Report Share Posted January 9, 2024 A lot of that generation of Welsh rugby players had professions, quite a few teachers in that team of the 70's. I actually think that the Education act of 1948, which gave them access to higher education was one of the reasons the Welsh team of the 70's was so good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
