The former centre was also the captain of the Barbarians side that beat the All Blacks in 1973. After hanging up his boots he was a hugely successful rugby coach.
Dawes also led Wales to two Grand Slams during the Five Nations era before and also coached the 1977 Lions Tour of New Zealand and Fiji.
