LW 47: Kevin Bowring

The London Welsh Rugby Club Podcast

Our guest this week is Kevin Bowring. Kevin came to London Welsh in 1977 after playing with Clive Rees for the Voyagers in an Amsterdam 7's tournament. 267 appearances across 9 seasons, with 3 as club captain, puts him 6th on the all time appearances list. Kevin loved his time at London Welsh and enjoyed the tours, 7's tournaments and playing in our Centenary season fixtures against Barbarians and Fiji. He was never capped by Wales, even though many thought he deserved a call up; but he did get selected to play for the Barbarians for a few fixtures. Kevin is renowned for his Coaching and was heavily involved with Wales age grade for a number of year, before he was chosen to be Head Coach of Wales for 3 seasons, post rugby turning professional in 1995. On leaving the Wales job, the RFU recruited Kevin to be Head of Elite Coach development, where he was advising all the top Premiership Coaches and England Coaches for 14 years. He continues to work in coaching and offering his services to many of today's leading rugby coaches. This podcast series is sponsored by London Welsh Developments LTD.
