LW 22: Adrian Davies - a podcast by London Welsh RFC

This weeks guest, is former Director of Coaching at London Welsh; Adrian Davies.  Adrian was a talented sportsman who can turn his hand to many sports and represented Wales at age grade Football and Rugby.  As an 18 year old, he played a season at Neath RFC with other former London Welsh stalwarts, Rowland Phillips and Lyn Jones before he went to Cambridge University.  A four time Cambridge blue, who played at a packed out Twickenham when both sides were stacked with Internationals.  He then spent 6 years at Cardiff RFC, combining rugby and working life; before he was one of the first ever professional players in the UK and signed for Richmond RFC. Three eventful seasons at Richmond and that was his playing career over and Adrian went into Coaching, with a few months coaching Esher RFC, before he was offered the role at London Welsh. Five years coaching the club in Tier 2 and you can quite clearly hear the pride and passion Adrian has for the club and the array of fantastic characters he inspired each week to turn out for London Welsh.
