Bryn Meredith swapped teaching for Test matches in 1955 and will never forget giving the rugby world a stunning education in try-scoring.

A star of the British & Irish Lions Tour to South Africa 65 years ago, former Wales hooker Meredith enjoyed a storied British & Irish Lions career in which he donned the famous red jersey in Test matches on eight occasions up to 1962.
