Welsh rugby fans' Greatest Ever Wales XV

The Western Mail's Delme Parfitt reveals the results of a nationwide survey to find Welsh fans' Greatest Ever Wales XV.

"Fullback: JPR Williams - If we’d been choosing a greatest ever world XV, JPR would probably have been favourite for this jersey, so it’s no surprise he’s got the nod here.

"His 95% backing is bigger than that given for any other player in our poll, underlining just how revered and iconic the former Junior Wimbledon winner remains.

"As part of the swaggering 1970s era, he was fearless, skilful, quick, aggressive, and he regarded a breach of the Wales try-line as an invasion of his personal property.

"Factor in the sideburns and the socks rolled down around the ankles, and you have a truly iconic figure."
