Gwyn Nicholls
Erith Gwyn Nicholls (15 July 1874 – 24 March 1939)〔(Newport RFC player profiles )〕 was a Welsh rugby union player who gained 24 caps for Wales as a centre. Nicholls was known as the "Prince of Threequarters".〔Smith (1980), pg 128.〕
Born in Westbury-on-Severn, Nicholls started his rugby career with Cardiff Star〔Parry-Jones (1999), pg 26.〕 before playing in the Cardiff first team from 1893. He spent all his playing career with Cardiff, playing 18 seasons for them, apart from half a season with Newport in 1901/2 when he began a laundry business there with fellow Welsh international Bert Winfield.〔 He captained Cardiff for four seasons; 1898/9 through to 1900/1 and again in 1903/04.
== International career ==
Nicholls gained his first international cap against Scotland on 25 January 1896, a solid if not spectacular debut.〔Parry-Jones (1999), pg 36.〕 His next few games gained him praise and Nicholls began to get more notice from the local press,〔Parry-Jones (1999), pg 36-37.〕 Nicholls international career was placed on pause for twelve months during 1897 and 1898 while Wales were excluded from playing because of the Gould Affair.〔Parry-Jones (1999), pg 37.〕
His 24 caps for Wales were won between 1896 and 1906 and included ten matches as captain. He was captain of the Triple Crown winning side of 1902. Despite announcing his retirement from international rugby at the end of the previous season, he returned to captain Wales in the famous 1905 victory against New Zealand. He toured Australia with the British Isles team of 1899, and was the only Welsh player on this tour.
