W. J. A. Davies

William John Abbott "Dave" Davies OBE (21 June 1890 – 26 April 1967) was a Welsh rugby union footballer who played international rugby for England normally positioned at fly-half.

Davies made his international debut on 4 January 1913 at Twickenham in the England vs South Africa match.

During his 22 matches at international level, he was on a losing side only in the first, against South Africa in 1913.

He formed a notable international half-back partnership with his Royal Navy team-mate Cecil Kershaw; in their 14 matches together for England they never finished on the losing side.

[1] Outside of rugby, Davies served as a naval officer aboard HMS Iron Duke and HMS Queen Elizabeth during World War I, for which he was appointed an OBE in 1919.
