A Rugby Union Preview
If Rugby Union to the Welsh is a religion, then KENNETH GRIFFITH must be its most devout disciple, and his birthplace Tenby a strong-hold of the faith. We follow him and his son JONATHAN from Wales to the heathen terraces of Twickenham to discover what chance Wales have today of beating the arch enemy - England.

International
Rugby Union from Twickenham England v Wales
Wales, who last season oecame the first country to win the triple crown but not the Championship, begin the 1978 campaign against the ' old enemy ' at Twickenham. So often in the past England have succumbed to the Welsh invasion, but their determination in Paris suggests a tough match.
