(The inset photo above shows a delighted Gethin
celebrating with Alun Wyn Jones after the hard
fought 16-12 win against Ireland in the 2008 RBS
Six Nations Championship. The victory kept alive
Welsh hopes of the Grand Slam and they duly
completed the job with a commanding 29-12 win
against France in the final fixture. The main photo
above is also during the Ireland match.)
