Part 2: Big shoes to fill.

In part 2 of our blog series on the myth of Wales’s flyhalf, we take a closer look at the men who came after the glory years of the 1970’s. Gareth Davies, Jonathan Davies and Neil Jenkins enhanced the status of the Welsh number 10 jersey, each in their own unique way, and were vital in securing elusive titles in 1979, 1988 and 1994.
