RUGBY COACH HONOURS MATT GITEAU & AUSTRALIA


On the day that Australia beat England - EVERY WELSH RUGBY FAN WAS AN AUSTRALIAN!


This was also shown to be the case for a Welshman who is a Coach for the London based Rugby Union Club THE WASPS.

As told by SARRA ELGAN, on the S4C Rugby Oriented Chat Show JONATHAN, hosted by Ex-Wales Rugby International turned Sports Commentator JONATHAN (JIFFY) DAVIES.....

....When TRYSTAN BEVAN’S WIFE GAVE BIRTH ... EXACTLY AT THE SAME TIME AS MATT GITEAU SCORED HIS TRY FOR AUSTRALIA ... which helped them beat England ... which in turn enabled WALES TO GO THROUGH TO THE QUARTER FINALS ...

.....THEY DECIDED TO NAME THE BABY .... OWEN GITEAU BEVAN! :-D :-D :-D



The Baby’s Granddad, father of Trystan is experienced broadcaster, rugby commentator and retired rugby referee Alun Wyn Bevan.
