Slammed

Throughout the decade, the group of players achieved unprecedented success including three back-to-back Triple Crowns and three Grand Slams, as well as many of the players etching themselves into history books with the Lions and Barbarians.

This series also features never before seen and restored footage, as well as interviews with the likes of Sir Gareth Edwards, Barry John, JPR Williams, John Taylor and Gerald Davies, and former Wales’s national team coach Clive Rowlands.
