Watts was part of the 1893 Wales team which won the country's first Triple Crown.

Although an Englishman by birth, the rules of nationality were more lax during the period, with three years residency required to represent your adopted country.

Watts was one of three new caps in the pack for his first game, alongside Arthur Boucher and Frank Mills, but the campaign was disastrous for the Welsh losing all three games in the tournament, collecting the wooden spoon.

The next year saw a complete turnaround in Welsh fortunes when, under the captaincy of Arthur Gould the team won all three games, taking the Triple Crown.

Watts played in all three games and continued to represent Wales over the next three Championships, but never to the level of success as in 1893.
