Owen Joshua Lewsey MBE (born 30 November 1976) is an English former rugby union player who represented England and the British and Irish Lions.

He subsequently attended Watford Grammar School for Boys[2] and then attended the University of Bristol on a British Army bursary, graduating in 1998,[3] and lived in the same hall of residence as three-time Olympian sailor Iain Percy; he was able to graduate after obtaining special permission to take his final exams in Australia as he had been selected for England's 1998 "Tour of Hell" in the Southern Hemisphere.

In the following years, he was a member of the successful Wasps side that won 12 trophies, starting with the Tetley's Bitter Cup in 1999, in the final of which he scored a try.

[7] The following year Wasps retained the cup, and in the 2000 final he again scored a try this time against Northampton, having spent the morning at Sandhurst with his platoon on routine room inspection, block cleaning and parade drill.

He also represented England in sevens at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, opting to play in the tournament over touring Argentina with the National team.

[citation needed] Lewsey featured heavily in England's campaign to retain the Rugby World Cup in 2007, playing in every game en route to the final.

On 10 December 2008 Lewsey announced his retirement from international rugby to concentrate on his club career, ending his time in the England set-up, which spanned more than 10 years and claiming 55 caps with 22 tries scored.

[18] In March 2013, Lewsey joined the Cornish Pirates as the temporary acting chief executive of the rugby club.

[21][22] Following a few years of working in rugby management, in 2017 Lewsey moved to the business sector and joined Ernst & Young as CEO.
