Lloyd worked as a miner,[5] and in 1912 was part of the Monmouthshire County team that faced the touring South Africans.
Lloyd played well and gave the Springbok halves, Freddie Luyt and Uncle Dobbin a difficult match, though the tourists class shone through to win the game comfortably.
The game was played at Inverleith and both sides had a sparsity of international experience; though Wales were captained by the veteran Billy Trew.
International matches for Wales[6] Bobby Lloyd went north and in 1914 commenced playing for English Northern Rugby Football Union club; Halifax.
