Bryn Evans (Welsh rugby union player) Welsh hopes were high for the second game that was against Scotland at Swansea's home ground St Helens. The selectors wanted to stick with the same team that had beaten the English, but Maurice Turnbull had reported in injured. The selectors therefore decided to drop his partner, the reliable Harry Bowcott to allow for the Swansea partnership of Evans and Ron Morris to take their place. Although on home soil and against an inexperienced Scottish team, Wales lost 11-3, and Evans was dropped for the next match and never represented his country again.
