Mark Henry James Douglas (born 10 December 1960) is a Welsh former rugby union international.
Born in Aberystwyth, Douglas was a scrum-half for Llanelli and London Welsh during the 1980s.[1]
Douglas was capped three times for Wales in the 1984 Five Nations Championship, filling in for injured scrum-half Terry Holmes. On his debut against Scotland, he fumbled a likely try in the last play of the game which would have given Wales a kick to win.[2] He also faced off with Ireland and France, before Holmes returned for the final fixture.[3]
In the 1990s, Douglas played for English clubs Northampton and Coventry[4]
Douglas was still competing in first-class rugby into his 40s with his local club Lampeter Town.[5] He comes from the village of Cwmann near Lampeter and runs an abattoir business there with his brothers[6] [7]
