Career details:

A gentile man off the pitch, a superb leader on the rugby field, always reliable, he seemed to have eyes in the back of his head.
A man you would follow anywhere on the pitch. He was a farmer and had that natural strength and hardness which coupled with fearlessness made him a wing forward who put trepidation into the minds of his opponents and whose motto could  well have been “if we aren’t having it (the ball) neither are they”!

On the 3^rd March 1974 the match against Bristol marked the 500^th 1^st XV appearance for Phil.

His dedicated training “stints” made him one of the fittest players.
