RETIRING LLOYD GUIDES WALES TO VICTORY
IAN GOLDEN The Gnoll, Neath, Saturday
WALES 24
IRELAND 0
THE 100th international between Wales and Ireland at any level will go down as a memorable one for the home side.
It was a big event in Neath, where Wales Rugby League combined hosting two matches with cap presentations, as the Wales juniors and students sides enjoyed watching the players they eventually hope to emulate, as well as being honoured at half-time.
Defences were on top for much of the game, especially for the Welsh, and it was only the fourth time that Wales had shut out their opponents at senior men’s international level.
