Cardiff's Howard Poole is one of three uncapped scrum-halves to have played Test matches for The British & Irish Lions, along with Englishmen George Isherwood and Herbert Laxon.

He never played for Wales and his only Lions Test ended in a 15-10 defeat against New Zealand in Auckland.

Poole was nevertheless a consistent performer for Doug Prentice’s Tour party, playing 14 times and scoring once against the Queensland.
