As a member of Llanelli, Morris was first capped for Wales as an international player, facing Scotland as part of the 1896 Home Nations Championship.
Morris came into a vastly changed pack to the one that faced England in the prior game, being one of five new forward caps.
Included in the team were four Llanelli players; Morris, Cliff Bowen, Charles Nicholl and Jack Evans.
The aggressive Welsh forward play that was successful against Scotland, failed when faced by Ireland's kick-and-rush tactics and the team lost 4–8 at Lansdowne Road.
Morris would win one final cap for Wales, in the opening game of the 1897 Championship against England.
