    The word “great” is over used especially with sports stars but this man was a genuine great.

    Dawes won the first of his 22 Wales caps in 1964 and was captain six times, leading them to the Grand Slam in 1971.

    He also captained the Lions on the 1971 tour of New Zealand, still the Lions' only series win over the All Blacks. Also involved in the greatest try ever.

    As coach of Wales, Dawes won four Five Nations titles including two Grand Slams and four triple crowns and was coach of the 1977 Lions in New Zealand.

    RIP
