Wales will field three players from the Neath-Swansea Ospreys in the front row for Saturday’s test in Buenos Aires.
While early years were impossible to know as often the first three players to the scrummage went down on a ‘first up, first down’ system, since 1947, only four club pairings have packed down together (from the commencement of a match).
The famous Pontypool front row of Graham Price/Bobby Windsor/Tony Faulkner played on 19 occasions. (vs England 1975-76-78; France 1975-76-78-79; Ireland 1975-76-78-79; Scotland 1975-76-78-79; Australia 1975-78(1)-78(2); New Zealand 1978).
There was one match each for: – Brian Williams/Kevin Phillips/Jeremy Pugh (Neath) – vs Scotland 1990; Jeff Whitefoot/Alan Phillips/Steve Blackmore (Cardiff) – vs Canada (World Cup-1987) and Darren Morris/Garin Jenkins/Ben Evans (Swansea) – vs USA 2000.
