Courtney Meredith Rugby player
Courtney Meredith (born 23 September 1926) was a Welsh international rugby union prop who played club rugby for Neath. He won fourteen caps for Wales and also played for invitational club the Barbarians. Meredith was a powerful prop, and was much praised by second row players for his tight packing, which allowed them the opportunity to shove the opposition. He played both tight and loose head prop but preferred tight head.On the 1955 British and Irish Lions Tour the all-Welsh front row of Billy Williams, Bryn Meredith and Courtney Meredith was selected for a Lions test match. This did not occur again until June 2009 when Gethin Jenkins, Adam Jones and Matthew Rees were selected as the British and Irish Lions front row for the 2nd Test against South Africa.International matches playedWales 23x15px England 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957 23x15px France 1954, 1955 23x15px Ireland 1954, 1955, 1956 23x15px New Zealand 1953 23x15px Scotland 1954, 1955, 1957↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑
