William "Billy" O'Neill often recorded as Billy O'Neil or Billy Neil (5 June 1878 – 2 April 1955) was a Welsh dual-code international rugby union and rugby league front row player who played club rugby under the union code for Cardiff and Aberavon, and as a professional rugby league footballer he represented Warrington (Heritage ? 154).
O'Neill was capped eleven times for the Wales rugby union national team, and twice for the Wales national league team.
Although playing throughout the 1904/1905 season, he missed the classic 1905 Wales win over the Original All Blacks.
He is often registered in many sources under the name Billy Neill or Neil, though in more recent references he is named as O'Neill.
