About Ivor Morgan

Lived 1884 – 1943 (aged 59). Ivor Morgan was a British rugby union player.

Ivor Morgan (15 August 1884 – 10 December 1943) was a Welsh international rugby union forward who played club rugby for Swansea and county rugby for Glamorgan.

Club career Morgan joined Swansea in 1905, but found it difficult to break into the side as his favourite position of wing-forward was taken by Swansea stalwarts Scrine and Hayward. Fortunately for Morgan, he was an all-round forward and gained positional play off the wing. Playing alongside one of rugby's true innovators, Dicky Owen, Morgan adapted a new style of wing play. Normally Owen would play in partnership with Dick Jones, but during this period Jones was suffering a long-term injury and Morgan developed a natural understanding of Owen's play, and through this became a prolific try scorer.

International matches played Wales 1908 1909, 1910, 1911 1909, 1910, 1911 1909, 1910, 1911 1909, 1910, 1912
