Gareth Williams joined the 1980 Lions Tour to South Africa as a replacement for Stuart Lane who suffered an injury in the first minute of the opening game.
Williams had yet to be capped by Wales but was given the chance to impress in the back row in six tour games and he scored tries against South African Country and Griqualand West.
The No.8 was unable to find a way into the Test XV on the Tour but picked up his first international cap against New Zealand in November 1980 and went on to make five appearances in total.
