Who was Willie Thomas?
William 'Willie' Henry Thomas was a Welsh international rugby union player who played club rugby for Llanelli and London Welsh.

This unofficial tour did not play any international opposition and no caps were awarded.
Thomas was born in Fishguard in 1866 to E.B. Thomas of Pembrokshire. He was educated at Llandovery College before graduating to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge in 1885.
