Rugby legend Sir Gareth Edwards CBE will be on stage at The Blake Theatre, Monmouth on Tuesday March 29.

Sir Gareth Edwards CBE was voted the “greatest of all time” by a poll of fellow rugby players.

One of the stars of the great Welsh side of the 1970s, Edwards made a then record 53 consecutive appearances for Wales scoring 22 tries. As well as for Wales, Sir Gareth played 195 times for Cardiff RFC and 10 times for the British and Irish Lions on three tours being part of the only Lions side to win a series in New Zealand in 1971 and then 3 years later was part of the “Invincibles” that went unbeaten in South Africa. If that wasn’t enough, he of course, appeared many times for the Barbarians and was the scorer of “That Try” against the All Blacks in 1973.

An Evening with Sir Gareth Edwards CBE is on Tuesday 29th March at 7:30pm. Tickets can be obtained from The Blake Theatre Box Office on 01600 719401 or online at theblaketheatre.org.
