This was the first match of the Welsh tour of Argentina. In the late 1960s, the Welsh toured Argentina. It wasn't very easy and back then, it was very hard to win a match against the Argentines at their turf. The Scottish and Welsh tours in the late 60s proved it all. France started touring Argentina in the late 40s. France did not become a IRFB (now IRB) member until 1978. In this first match, the Welsh took on Argentine champions Belgrano. People think rugger wasn't a rough game back then and the tragedy at this match proved that it was a very rough sport to play back then. Michael Cole, a Belgrano forward, died after he suffered a fatal injury in this match. He left the field when the game was nearly over. BBC Wales paid a tribute to him after this match and Welsh rugger fans remembered him from the '67 Belgrano tour of Argentina. Enjoy the match. The ending is very sad because of the announcement of Michael Cole's tragic death.

Yes it was pretty sad. Michael Cole is probably English or Welsh. When Welsh rugger fans who knew Cole watched highlights on this match on BBC Wales in 1968, they were shocked about his death. Rugger was a very rough sport back in those days and you should ask your uncle about how rough the sport was.
