Nantyglo RFC Full name Nantyglo Rugby Football Club Location Nantyglo, Wales Coach(es) Mark Fleet League(s) WRU Division Four East 2009-10 8th[1] Team kitNantyglo Rugby Football Club is a rugby union, from Nantyglo Wales. The club is a member of the Welsh Rugby Union and is a feeder club for the Newport Gwent Dragons.[2].
The club's most notable player is Tom Clapp, who in 1887 and 1888 captained the Welsh team on three occasions, including their first win over old rivals Scotland. Whereas most lower level clubs can only attribute their links to first class players before the individual was capped, Clapp played his first three matches as a full Welsh international while still turning out for Nantyglo.
