Gwilym Wilkins (born 4 May 1967) is a Welsh former rugby union international.[1]
A winger, Wilkins was capped once for Wales, against Tonga at Nuku A'lofa in 1994. He was one of four new Wales caps blooded in that game, with Wales claiming a record fifth successive away win.[2] His place on the tour only came about through an injury to Llanelli player Ian Jones, having not initially been named on the touring party.[3] He spent most of his career with Bridgend and Aberavon, but also had some experience of club rugby in Australia, where he had been born.[4]
Wilkins is the father of Wales player Robyn Wilkins.[5]
