John Bevan toured with the British and Irish Lions to Australia and New Zealand in 1971 (although interestingly his team is shown as Cardiff College of Education rather than Cardiff, so he is not included amongst the Cardiff players that have represented the famous tourists) and he represented the Barbarians against New Zealand in January 1973.
In September 1973 Bevan switched to rugby league and joined Warrington, going on to win 15 caps for Wales and 6 caps for Great Britain.
