Who was the first fullback to score a try in test rugby?
I didn't think this was such a big deal but apparently it was very controversial at the time.

Mart - I've looked this up & all I can come up with is Vivian Jones who was the first fullback to score a try for Wales in 1934 against Ireland, is this the one?
It appears that he died not so long ago!

I thought it was Jenkins not Jones. But the rest is correct.
Apparently the Western Mail ran 2 headlines over its match report. They were "Was Jenkins Justified?" and "Is This Good for Rugby?".
