Rees toured with the
British & Irish Lions to
New Zealand in
1977, when he had yet to be
capped by
Wales, and
South Africa in
1980 and at the time played club rugby for
Neath. He made his international debut for the Lions against
New Zealand at
Eden Park,
Auckland in August 1977 but had to wait until January 1979 for his first Wales cap, against
Scotland at
Murrayfield. Rees scored a try on his Welsh debut, and made his last appearance against
France at the
Parc des Princes in March 1983. He played 13 times for Wales and scored six tries, in addition to his single international for the British and Irish Lions. ==Personal life==
