Harry Vaughan Watkins

Before the outbreak of World War I, Watkins left Wales for Canada, and while there played rugby for Victoria in British Columbia; and in November 1913 he captained the Victoria team against a touring New Zealand.

Wales changed their pack formation to counter the New Zealand tactics, and the Welsh selectors brought in Charlie and Cliff Pritchard at the expense of Watkins and Cardiff's Billy O'Neill.
