Leonard Morris Davies (29 December 1930 — 23 September 1957) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
Born in Bynea, Davies was the elder brother of Wales and British Lions fullback Terry Davies.[1]
Davies played for Llanelli and was a specialist blindside wing-forward. He was capped three times for Wales, making his debut in a win over France at Cardiff Arms Park during their 1954 Five Nations campaign.[2]
After gaining his third cap against Ireland in 1955, Davies withdrew from the side to travel to Paris, having been said to be suffering from bronchitis.[3] He remained in ill health over the next years and died at a hospital in Morriston in 1957.[4]
