The player actually catching the ball is
leuan Evans, the Welsh right wing. He
played for Llanelli, and represented Wales
from '87 to '98 winning 72 caps (28 as
Captain). He scored 33 international tries.
The Eagles player doing the "running into" is
Mark Williams. This is a photo from the
January 11, 1997 match between Wales &
the USA. Williams is quite accomplished
himself, he was capped 36 times from 1987
to 1999. He scored a total of 133 points
with 3 Tries, 11 Conversions and 33
Penalties. The 133 points places him 4th all
time on the Eagles scoring list. He played a
variety of positions, starting off with
Fly-Half, moving to Inside Center, then
Outside Center, then Fullback before he
moved back to Fly-Half. Two other
interesting factoids: Williams is Welsh and
he scored his first try against the USSR
Lastly I would guess that he is running into
Brian Hightower who was playing wing in this
match. Hightower is from Virginia Beach
and played in college at William & Mary
