Charles Howard Norris (11 June 1934 – 30 January 2015) was a Wales international rugby union player.[1][2]

He was capped twice by Wales as a

prop, both times against France, once in 1963 and once in 1966.[3]

He was selected for the

All Blacks
, giving him the distinction of earning more caps for the Lions than he did for his country.

Norris played club rugby for Tylorstown and Cardiff, making a record 415 appearances for Cardiff. He was born in Porth and died in Cardiff on 30 January 2015.[4]
