Gwynn was an all-round sportsman and as well as his success on the rugby pitch he also player cricket for Swansea, of which he became vice-president, and Glamorgan.

Gwynn had also played association football and had captained Battersea College XI through two undefeated seasons.

Under the captaincy of Charlie Newman, Wales lost to the English, but to a far close score line than the first two encounters.

Gwynn should have scored in the Scotland game, but looked for support rather than touch the ball down when he had crossed the Scottish line.

[4] Gwynn played in two more games for Wales, both in the 1885 Home Nations Championship, a loss to England and a draw against Scotland.
