Wales and Lions great Phil Bennett has passed away aged 73 after battling a long illness.
The news was announced by the Scarlets, for whom he played 413 games and scored 2,535 points over 15 seasons.
One of Welsh rugby’s finest ever players, he won 29 caps for Wales between 1969 and 1978, featuring in two Five Nations Grand Slam-winning teams. In the second of those, in 1978, he led the side and scored two tries as they completed their clean sweep of victories by beating France in Cardiff.
