Brinley Evans


Brinley Samuel Evans was a Welsh international rugby union player.
A native of Felinfoel, Evans was educated at Llanelly County School and London University.
Evans had a season with London Welsh in 1913–14 and played Army rugby during the wartime years, after which he joined Llanelly RFC. He was primarily a centre three–quarter, but made his Wales debut in 1920 next to Albert Jenkins on the wing, reportedly due to an administrative error as selectors had intended to call up his Llanelly teammate Brinley Williams. On his return to the Wales side in 1922, Evans was used in his customary position of right centre and featured in all four matches in a championship–winning campaign.
