- This No12 jersey was worn by Frensh centre Didier Cordoniou (Narbonne) in the match against Wales at Parc des Princes, Paris on 7th March 1981. Despite leading 15 - 9 Wales could not hold on and France won by 19 - 15 to claim the Championship and Grand Slam. But Welsh rugby supporters will remember Dai Richards' superb score, Wales only try of the game. For a second time Cordoniou and Richards exchanged jerseys after the match.
