Welsh rugby is mourning the death of former Wales and British and Irish Lions center Arthur Lewis who has died aged 84.
Lewis, an electrician by trade, emerged from Crumlin RFC to star for Ebbw Vale at a time when they were one of the premier clubs in Welsh rugby.
He helped form a highly regarded center partnership with the late Wales and Lions playing and coaching legend John Dawes.
Starring in Monmouthshire’s 1969 win over the visiting Springboks, Lewis made his Wales debut in the 1970 Five Nations final against France.
The team that achieved the clean sweep in 1971 – retained his place as a member of one of the country’s most celebrated Grand Slam teams.
He was named in the Lions tour party to Australia and New Zealand that year but was not capped despite making 10 appearances during the tour.
He made 11 appearances for Wales, scoring his only try against England in the 1973 Five Nations.
Lewis also captained Wales three times, winning twice and losing once during his tenure.
