Edgar Morgan (15 April 1882–c.1962) was a Welsh international rugby union forward who played club rugby for Swansea Rugby Football Club and the British Lions

Morgan made his Swansea debut in 1907 and played in the Swansea victories over both touring Australian (1908) and South African (1912) teams. [ [http://www.swansearfc.co.uk/history_browser_view.php?image_id=476 Swansea RFC player profiles] ] He joined the British Army during World War I, and was later commissioned as an infantry officer before transferring to the Royal Engineers.

International career

Morgan gained his first international cap, when he was called up to play for Arthur Harding's Anglo-Welsh, British Lions team that toured New Zealand and Australia in 1908. Strangely it took a further six years until Morgan won his first Welsh cap against England at Twickenham on 17 January, 1914. Morgan played all four home nation games that season and may have gained more caps but for the outbreak of the World War.
