1986 Cardiff vs Newport RFC
Welsh Cup Final (28-21)
Newport's fightback. Running rugby at its best.

Munster skipper Diarmuid Barron after his team's 22-20 win over the Dragons at a wet and windy Cork:
βThatβs a good Dragons side. I wouldnβt be underestimating what they are going to go and do this season. They are going to take a lot of scalps."

My biggest strategic fear for Welsh rugby, that has not been mentioned, is we appear to be driving strategy off a spreadsheet and therefore slept walked into managed decline. I hope sincerely I am wrong, but I fear I am not. We are cutting the wrong things imho.

One of the stars from my new book 'Wonderful Welsh Sporting Heroes' is Newport's Arthur 'Monkey' Gould, rugby's first superstar.
He was loved so much by fans they helped buy him a house, an act which almost led to π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ being banished from the sport!
