In view is one of a pair of gates erected, by public subscription, at the entrance to Cardiff Arms Park in 1949 to commemorate one of the greatest Welsh rugby players of all time. They were relocated here in 2000 during the Millennium Stadium's construction. Nicholls played for Wales 24 times between 1896 and 1906. In 1905 he was captain of the Wales side which beat the New Zealand All Blacks 3-0. He also played for the British Isles rugby team during its 1899 tour of Australia.
