Graham Jones (rugby union)

Graham Jones (24 November 1933 — 1 July 2022) was a Welsh international rugby union player.

[1] A native of Garndiffaith, Jones was educated at Abersychan Grammar School and undertook National Service with the Royal Air Force (RAF).

He became a back row forward during his time in the RAF, having previously played centre for Pontypool.

In the 1960s, Jones played his rugby with Ebbw Vale and had a run of 150 consecutive matches.

He scored what was at the time the quickest known try by a Wales player in his next match, against Ireland at Lansdowne Road, that remains the fastest try by a Welsh forward.
