Within a year of making his senior debut he was capped by Wales for the centenary test vs New Zealand at the Arms Park as a raw 19 year old up against some greats of the game. In the Summer of 1982, Rob decided to move to London Welsh as he was studying at St Mary's in Teddington and had a storming season, culminating with his selection for the Lions.
