Walter Charles Townsend Eyres (17 February 1895 – 16 September 1965) was an English international rugby union player of the 1920s.
Born in Barton Regis, Eyres was the son of diplomat Harry Charles Augustus Eyres.[1]
Eyres captained the Navy XV in 1924 and gained his solitary England cap as a back row forward in a win over Ireland at Twickenham during the 1927 Five Nations Championship.[2] He was unavailable for selection in the seasons that followed as his military service took him overseas.[3]
