Ieuan Evans
Ieuan Evans MBE – Wales Rugby Legend and Entertaining After-Dinner Speaker.
Ieuan Evans has enjoyed an outstanding rugby career as a right-wing with Llanelli, Bath, Wales and the British Lions, skippering Wales to the World Cup in South Africa in 1995.
Ieuan Evans was educated at Queen Elizabeth School in Carmarthen where he started playing rugby at the age of ten. He played for the Carmarthen Quins youth side aged 17 and joined Llanelli at the age of 19, where he achieved phenomenal success at both club and international level.
Ieuan played seven cup finals for Llanelli, who won five of these. During the 1980’s, Ieuan played in the last matches of the traditional ‘rag doll’ games, the fiercely fought matches between Bath and Llanelli.
