Treharne was one of the youngest members contacted to join the side. At the time he was living in Pontypridd, and is reported to have played for the club from 1880; but Treharne was still studying for Cowbridge Grammar School when the Welsh game took place. The match against England was a one-sided affair, with Wales losing by a massive seven goals, a drop goal and six tries to nil. One reason put forward to the difference in quality between the sides was that several members of the Welsh team were put into unfamiliar positions. Treharne himself, normally a full-back, was placed into the pack, though his speed did make him the most prominent of the Welsh forwards. When Treharne was reselected for Wales as part of the 1883 Home Nations Championship he was playing for Pontypridd. Under the captaincy of Charles Lewis, Treharne faced England for a second time. Wales lost the match, but not as heavily as their first meeting, and the selectors only dropped two players for the next game; Cardiff's James Clare and Treharne.
