David Powell (rugby union)

David Lewes "Piggy" Powell (born 17 May 1942)[1] is a former England international rugby union player.

He was capped eleven times by England as a prop between 1966 and 1971.[2]

Powell was selected for the 1966 British Lions tour to Australia and New Zealand, but did not play in any of the internationals.

He played club rugby for Northampton and as of 2008 is the head groundsman at Northampton's Franklin's Gardens ground, sometimes irreverently referred to as "Piggy's Patch".[3]
