He also toured Australia and New Zealand with the 1966 British and Irish Lions, playing in all four Tests on that trip.

“We are extremely saddened to hear that Brian Price, one of the greatest players to have worn the Black & Amber jersey, has passed away,” Newport RFC posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“We send our sincere condolences to Brian’s family, friends and everyone privileged enough to have known him.”
