Dewi Morris (pronounced "Dowee", born 9 February 1964 in Crickhowell, Wales) is a former English rugby union footballer, of Welsh extraction, who played scrum half.
Morris made his England debut in 1988 against Australia. He was dropped in 1990 in favour of Richard Hill, but returned to the England side in 1992 and was the Lions scrum-half in 1993.
He retired from rugby union after the 1995 World Cup third place play-off match. He had won 26 caps in total. However, he came out of retirement after professionalism to play for a season for Sale, helping them reach the final of the Pilkington Cup. After retiring he now appears regularly as a rugby union pundit/commentator on Sky Sports where he appears with Welsh born Nigel Redman [1] and former Welsh schoolboy international Stuart Barnes.
