John Dawes RIP
I was very saddened to hear of the passing of former Wales and Lions captain, John Dawes.
Dawes played in an era before my time – my obsession with rugby started around 1980 – but there is no doubt that he was a legend of the game.
It is word that is often overused, but surely if “legend” is to apply to anyone it is to John Dawes, who led Wales to the Grand Slam in 1971 before captaining the Lions on their victorious 1971 tour of New Zealand (which is still the Lions’ only series win over the All Blacks).
And the fact that he then went on to coach Wales to two Grand Slams and four triple crowns only serves to enhance his reputation further.
He also, of course, skippered the Barbarians to their famous win over the All Blacks in 1973 and played a pivotal role in THAT TRY:
“…John Dawes, great dummy, to David, Tom David, the half-way line, brilliant by Quinnell, this is Gareth Edwards! A dramatic start! What a score! Oh, that fellow Edwards!”
