Richard Hugh McCaw - to be known universally as Richie - came into the world.

FENWICK, STEVE
Bridgend and Wales
30 internationals for Wales 1975–81
4 internationals for British Isles 1977

A hard-running midfield back whose consistency of play and continuity in the Welsh team led to his breaking an 83-year-old Welsh record: his 30 caps overtook the previous record of 25 as a centre set by the great Arthur Gould in 1897.

Fenwick made his debut for Wales v France in 1975. In 1978–79 he scored 38 points in the Five Nations series, which equalled the best scored by any player from any country. He toured New Zealand with the 1977 British Isles, playing in all four test matches.

After captaining Wales in its centenary fixture with New Zealand in 1980, Fenwick was dropped in the 1980–81 season. He later went over to rugby league, in which he also represented Wales.

Anton Oliver was captain wen he was yellow-carded v Argentina at Christchurch 23 June 2001.
