Quote:
Former Wales captain Mervyn Davies has died following a battle with cancer. He was 65.
Known universally as 'Merv the Swerve' the number eight led Wales to the 1976 Five Nations Grand Slam.
He won a total of 38 caps for Wales and went on two victorious British and Irish Lions tours in 1971 and 1974.
His impressive career was cut short in 1976 after he suffered a brain haemorrhage playing for Swansea in a Welsh Cup semi-final against Pontypool.
Davies, who was instantly recognisable on the pitch from his thick moustache and white headband, was treated at the University Hospital of Wales for several months after the haemorrhage

Very sad to hear of a great rugby legend passing away.
RIP Mervyn
