While early years were impossible to know as often the first three players to the scrummage went down on a ‘first up, first down’ system, since 1947, only four club pairings have packed down together (from the commencement of a match).

The famous Pontypool front row of Graham Price/Bobby Windsor/Tony Faulkner played on 19 occasions. (vs England 1975-76-78; France 1975-76-78-79; Ireland 1975-76-78-79; Scotland 1975-76-78-79; Australia 1975-78(1)-78(2); New Zealand 1978).

There was one match each for: – Brian Williams/Kevin Phillips/Jeremy Pugh (Neath) – vs Scotland 1990; Jeff Whitefoot/Alan Phillips/Steve Blackmore (Cardiff) – vs Canada (World Cup-1987) and Darren Morris/Garin Jenkins/Ben Evans (Swansea) – vs USA 2000.
