Wilfred James Evans (12 May 1914 — 17 November 1992) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
Evans was born in Griffithstown, a suburb of Pontypool, and played his rugby for hometown club Pontypool RFC.[1]
A Monmouthshire police officer, Evans represented Wales in the 1939-40 Red Cross internationals, an uncapped series for players in the services. His solitary official cap came as a prop in a 1947 Five Nations match against Scotland at Murrayfield, where he packed a front row with Cliff Davies and Billy Gore.[2] He had retained his place for their following fixture in Paris, but due to a knee injury was forced to give up his spot to Dai Jones.[3]
