An emergency stretcher pitch side. Welsh fans in the stands at the last home Five Nations match at the old Arms Park in Cardiff against France on March 16 1996. Wales won the match 16-15 win. It was a fitting way to say goodbye to the ground. After this match the old stadium was radically expanded and redeveloped with a roof to host the Rugby World Cup Final in 1999. Picture: ROB WATKINS
