Career
A skillful player, Davies was unfortunate to be playing during the same period as Rhys Gabe, who was the selectors' first choice at his position. It was all the more unfortunate for Davies as it was a collision between himself and Gabe, during a Swansea match, that caused an injury that would allow Gabe to take his position for Wales. Davies originally played rugby at the lower level team Llandeilo, whom he captained for two seasons, but on moving to Swansea impressed enough to be capped for Wales.
In 1905, he was part of the Swansea team that faced the Original All Blacks on their first British tour. He would play for Wales another eight times, scoring a try against Ireland in 1900, and converting four goals in the 1905 Triple Crown winning season. When he was recalled for the 1905 tournament he was switched from centre to fullback for all three matches.
