An emotive portrait of Welsh rugby icon John Dawes. The man who revolutionised the game as both player and coach led Wales to multiple Grand Slams, inspired the Lions to their only tour victory on New Zealand soil, and was also at the centre of the βgreatest try of all timeβ with the Barbarians. For the first time, John Dawesβs son and grandsons, along with a star-studded host of rugby players, including Gareth Edwards, John Taylor and Gerald Davies, look back at the life of a legend and learn how his legacy lives on to this day.
