Roy Burnett (6 October 1926 – 30 July 1998)[1] was a Wales international rugby union player who also played for the Barbarians.
Burnett made 373 appearances for Newport RFC. He captained the team in the 1952-53 season and also in 1950-51 in the absence of Ken Jones.
Burnett was unlucky only to win one cap for the Wales national rugby union team primarily because he had to compete against Cliff Morgan.
