Abstract
This is the British & Irish Lions bazer presented to Swansea and Wales lock Geoff Wheel, who was selected for the Lions' tour to Australia & New Zealand in 1977. He later had to withdraw on medical grounds, the Lions pack being weaker for his absence. Geoff won 32 Welsh caps between 1974 and 1982 and captained Swansea in 1979-80 and 1980-81. Kindly gifted by Geoff Wheel.
