IN Peter Jackson’s column about W.J.A. “Dave” Davies beating Alun Wyn Jones as the first Welshman to win four Grand Slams, Mr Jackson made an error.

Two other Englishmen – Cyril Lowe and Bob Cove-Smith – also won four Grand Slams. Lowe: 1913, 1914, 1921 and 1923. Cove-Smith: 1921, 1923, 1924 and 1928.
