W. T. H. Davies Leaving Swansea R.F.C.

The Swansea R. F. Club have pro- bably seen the last, for the time being at least, of H. Tanner and W. T. H. Davies, their famous half-back com- bination. In the autumn Davies is leaving Swansea University for Leeds University and, while he will begin next season with the All Whites and assist them during September, he will go north before his famous partner re- turns from the South African tour.

Strangely enough, there is now every prospect of Tanner and Davies playing regularly for Wales, the retirement of Cliff Jones leaving the way open for Davies at stand-off. The Swansea pair. first gained fame some four seasons ago turning out for the senior fifteen -while still at school. Tanner was the, first to gain recognition, being capped ..against the All Blacks in December 1935, and since then he has held his place in the national team. Davies, who has been capped three times, was press- ed into service against Ireland in 1986 ..as an emergency centre. In his two games as stand-off to Tanner he was unlucky to be behind, well beaten for- wards. Nevertheless, Davies is with- out question a great player, lacking the individual brilliance of Cliff Jones yet more true to type as a Welsh out- side half. His smooth running is a de- i light to watch, and his timing of passes so perfect that every time he parts with the ball a half opening, at least, is made for his centres.

As the most notable club in Leeds, Headingley are sure to make a strong endeavour to obtain the services of. Davies, and in their ranks. he may eas- ily rise to even greater heights than in the past, for he is of rather frail phy- sique and, like Cliff Jones, seemed un- likely to last long in the rigours of

•Welsh club Rugby..

The finest game Tanner and Davies have played in their short career was against the All Blacks, and Davies took the honours in that great match which the All Whites won so convin- cingly. Time and again he made ghostly glide through the tourists' de- fence, and two of his runs sent Claude Davey and Ron Williams in for great tries.
