Career
Morgan played international rugby for Wales and in 1908 was selected to join Arthur Harding"s Anglo-Welsh tour of New Zealand and Australia. During the 1905/06 season while representing Guy"s, Morgan was invited to play for invitational touring team the Barbarians. By 1908, Morgan was back in Wales, and playing for first class Welsh team, Cardiff.
Morgan found himself one of three halfbacks, in an unorthordox formation which mimicked the New Zealand seven man pack.
Joing Morgan at half back were two other Welsh players, James "Tuan" Jones and moved from threequarters, Reggie Gibbs. The game ended in a 3-3 draw and Morgan was reselected for the final test in Auckland.
In a home game played at the Cardiff Arms Park, Morgan was brought into the Welsh team to face Scotland as part of the Five Nations Championship as a replacement for Dicky Owen. The next game, Morgan was replaced by Newport"s Tommy Vile and didn"t represent Wales again.
After his rugby career for Cardiff came to an end, Morgan would often turn out for French team Stade Bordelais, where he was nicknamed "Billy Bordeaux".
