Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. William 'Willie' Henry Thomas (22 March 1866 – 11 October 1921) was a Welsh international rugby union player who played club rugby for Llanelli and London Welsh. He was capped eleven times for Wales and captained the team on two occasions. In 1888, Thomas was chosen to tour New Zealand and Australia as part of the first British Isles team. This unofficial tour did not play any international opposition and no caps were awarded. Thomas was born in Fishguard in 1866 to E.B. Thomas of Pembrokshire. He was educated at Llandovery College before graduating to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge in 1885.
