Richard Summers

[1] When Richard Mullock began looking for players to represent the first Wales international rugby team, Summers fitted the profile of an educated gentleman from a club representing one of the outer reaches of the Welsh rugby map.

[1] Summers was played at fullback along with Newport's Charlie Newman, while the team was captained by Australian James Bevan.

The international game was a disaster for Wales; the team had never played together before, and many were out of position; but even with these problems the match was far too easy a victory for the English.

After losing by eight goals and six tries to nil the national press was angry at what was seen as a humiliation to the country.

[3] Although Summers gave Haverfordwest their first international player in Wales' first game, it took the club almost one hundred years to produce another Welsh cap, when Peter Morgan was selected in 1980.
