Tributes paid to 'true club legend' who faced game's big three and was feared and respected in Welsh rugby

‘A true legend of Swansea RFC’ has been hailed by the club after his passing.

Morrie Evans piled up 355 appearances for the All Whites and also skippered them.

He served Swansea for almost 20 years, making his debut eight months after wartime rationing officially ended and continuing to play until the glam rock era of the early 1970s. For the record, his first outing came in April 1955, with Evans playing his last match in February 1973.
