About Will Davies (rugby player)

  • Will 'Sgili' Davies (14 February 1906 – 5 October 1975) was a Wales international rugby union player who played club rugby for Swansea.
  • He won four caps for Wales and was part of the Welsh side that faced the touring South Africans in 1931. Davies, known more commonly as 'Sgili', was originally a rugby scrum-half and centre, before moving into the forward, and eventually settling as a flanker.
  • He faced the South Africans twice during their 1931 tour of Britain, once with Wales and once with Swansea.
  • In the Swansea game, Davies set up his team's only score when he snapped up a loose ball, that broke loose after a South African tackle.
  • He punted the ball forward for Claude Davey to beat the covering Springbok players to collect it and score a try.
