Haydn Morris (born 14 July 1928) is a former Cardiff, Wales and British and Irish Lions international rugby union wing three-quarter.[1]

Morris was born in Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taf, and joined Cardiff from his home club Mountain Ash, playing on the left wing. He made his debut for Wales on 7 April 1951 versus France at Stade Colombes, and won two more caps in 1955 against Ireland and France, with a try in both matches. He was selected for the 1955 British Lions tour to South Africa, scoring nine tries in eight appearances,[2] with a hat trick against Griqualand West.[3] Morris is a former student of Cardiff Training College and, whilst playing for Cardiff RFC, was sports master and 1st XV coach from September 1952 until 1960, at Barry Boys' Grammar School.
