Hayden John Davies (21 November 1935 — 22 December 2017) was a Welsh international rugby union player.[1]
Raised in Cowbridge, Davies attended Cowbridge Grammar School, where his abilities in cricket and rugby union earned him Welsh Schools representative honours for both sports. He read law and economics at the University of Cambridge.[2]
Davies played for Aberavon and was a centre partner to Geoff Windsor-Lewis in the Cambridge University XV, winning a blue in the 1958 Varsity match.[3] He was capped twice by Wales in 1959, against England at Arms Park and Scotland at Murrayfield. After graduating from Cambridge, Davies was based in London and competed with the London Welsh club. He won an international recall for the 1964 Wales rugby union tour of Africa, but didn't add to his caps.[2]
A chartered accountant, Davies worked for Clive Lewis and Co, surveyors.[2]
