Abstract
This is the 1995 RWC blazer of Swansea, Wales and Lions back Tony Clement. He played in all three of Wales' matches as they beat Japan (57 - 10) but lost to New Zealand (34 - 9) and Ireland (23 - 24), going out at the group stage. Clement played at full-back in all the matches. Swansea's Garin Jenkins, Rob Jones and Stuart Davies also played in the tournament for Wales. Clement played 37 times for Wales between 1987 and 1995, including two World cup campaigns. He toured as a British & Irish Lion in 1989 and 1993. Equally capable at fly-half, centre or full-back he also played for Swansea against the All Blacks and in the famous 1992 win over Australia. He captained Swansea in 1994-95 & 1995-96.
