William Lewis (14 March 1899 â 26 January 1927) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
A wing-forward, Lewis played his early rugby with hometown club Morriston and first trialled for Wales while at Aberystwyth University College. He later competed with Llanelly and Swansea. His only Wales cap came against France during the 1925 Five Nations and he was tasked with manning the French flyâÂÂhalf Yves du Manoir.
Lewis, a teacher by profession, was forced to retire from rugby for health reasons a season after having been capped for Wales. He died of an unspecified illness at his home in Swansea on 26 January 1927, at the age of 28.
