Courtney Meredith

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 but preferred tight head, the role he played in the Welsh front row of the 1955 British Lions, along with Billy Williams and Bryn Meredith.
