Second row led Wales to Triple Crown in 1969Newport pay tribute to one of club’s ‘greatest players’
Brian Price, the former Wales captain and British and Irish Lions tourist, has died at the age of 86. The second row led Wales to a Triple Crown in the Five Nations in 1969, six years after leading his club, Newport, to victory over New Zealand. He also toured Australia and New Zealand with the 1966 British and Irish Lions, playing in all four Tests on that trip.
“We are extremely saddened to hear that Brian Price, one of the greatest players to have worn the Black & Amber jersey, has passed away,” Newport RFC posted on X.
