William St Lawrence W. Collier (born 5 May 1991) is an English rugby union player who plays as a tighthead prop for Harlequins in the Gallagher Premiership.

A front row specialist that cites his interest in the 'dark arts' (of scrummaging) inspired in part by Chris Ritchie, a veteran London Welsh player and Joe Launchbury, a current England Rugby international. [1]

His first club was Rosslyn Park F.C. Beginning at just 6 years old and playing in their mini, youth and First XV squads.[2] Harlequins brought him into their academy in 2011. Since his first senior cap in 2012 Collier has featured regularly for the Harlequins senior squad in the Aviva Premiership.

He made his England Test debut against Argentina on 10 June 2017 and made a second appearance a week later in the deciding match, scoring a try. England won the Argentina tour, June 2017; two test matches to nil.[3]
