Clive Williams (born 2 November 1947)[http://en.espn.co.uk/statsguru/rugby/player/8670.html Clive Williams player profiles] Scrum.com is a former {{Nrut|Wales}} international rugby union player. He toured twice with the British & Irish Lions, to New Zealand in 1977 and to South Africa in 1980.[http://www.lionsrugby.com/6012.php?player=15538&includeref=dynamic Clive Williams Lions profile] lionsrugby.com

Williams came to prominence playing for Aberavon RFC where he became a formidable scrummager under the coaching of the ex-Welsh International prop – Phil Morgan.

He was selected for the 1977 Lions tour but remarkably on his return to his club, he lost his place to the then un-capped John Richardson.

Williams left the club and joined Swansea RFC and was again selected to play for the 1980 Lions.
