There were also Noah Beery (Wallace's nephew) and his son Noah Jr., best known for his part in "The Rockford Files".
Is there any reason why 30 across is what it is apart from the fact that it is the first name of the current captain of the Welsh RU XV?

No, that's it for 30a - without the question mark the definition would be 'Rugby skipper' (the first name of the current Welsh RU captain) and the wordplay 'in international unequalled', but with the question mark the whole clue can be read as an '&lit'.

Liz, I'd already seen what you indicate, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned the first name of the current captain of the Welsh RU XV.
It just seems a poor clue, worse even than 32a.
