Quiet riot

NOT all Welshmen took on South Africa’s players after the famous ‘99’ call on the 1974 Lions tour (Letters) — at which the entire team was meant to lay in to their opponents. After the match, someone asked diminutive Phil Bennett where he’d been when the mayhem was going on. Phil retorted: ‘Didn’t you see me? I hit hell out of the water boy!’
