William Sweet-Escott JP, of Hartrow Manor in Taunton and the daughter of Lord Dynevor.

He was educated at King Henry VIII School in Coventry, before being accepted into Peterhouse, Cambridge.

Under the captaincy of Llanelli's Willie Thomas, Wales were heavily beaten with Scotland running in seven tries without reply.

Sweet-Escott lost his place in the Welsh team for the next game, with the Welsh selectors switching from the Cardiff partnership of Sweet-Escott and Ingledew to the exciting Swansea brother duo of Evan and David James.

As part of the 1894 Home Nations Championship and this time led by Frank Hill, Sweet-Escott found himself again on the losing side when Ireland won by a single penalty goal.
