Sporting Witness

Available for over a year

In October 1972, Llanelli rugby club, a semi-professional side made up steel workers, teachers and dockworkers in south Wales, took on the most decorated international side in rugby history – the All Blacks, and won. Former Wales head coach and Llanelli local Gareth Jenkins was just 21 when he played against New Zealand's iconic rugby team. He tells Isaac Sneade how the match unfolded. This is a One Tribe TV production for the BBC World Service. (Photo: Llanelli playing the All Blacks in October 1972. Credit: Andrew Richards)
