JPR Williams

John Peter Rhys Williams, a Welsh rugby union player, represented Wales in international rugby during their Golden Era in the 1970s. He played full-back, known for his aggressive attacking style, with long sideburns and socks around his ankles. Williams’ preferred position was flanker, where he played for Tondu at the end of his career. Born in Bridgend, Wales, he attended Bridgend Boys’ Grammar School and Millfield School in Somerset. Williams also won the 1966 British Junior title at Wimbledon.

Williams moved from tennis to rugby union, an amateur sport, to pursue a career in medicine. He was first capped by Wales in 1969 at 19 and went on to earn 55 caps for Wales, five as captain, and eight for the British Isles (the British Lions). He played club rugby for Bridgend, London Welsh, and Tondu, and also played a few games for Natal shortly after the 1974 Lions tour.

Williams was a key player in a Welsh side that won Grand Slams in 1971, 1976, and 1978 and is particularly remembered for his record against England. He scored five tries in 10 tests between Wales and England and was never on the losing side. He was also outstanding for the Lions, winning the 1971 series against New Zealand with a long-range drop goal.

Williams chose not to go on the 1977 British Lions tour to New Zealand, choosing instead to focus on his medical career. He retired from international rugby union in 1981 and continued playing club rugby for many years, playing for Bridgend and Tondu Thirds into his fifties.
