Philip Thomas "Phil" Davies (born 19 October 1963 in Seven Sisters, Wales) is a Welsh former rugby union footballer of the 1980s and 90s, and current head coach of the Namibian national side.
Davies played his club rugby for Llanelli and enjoyed a distinguished 46 cap career for Wales between 1985 and 1995. It was during this period that Welsh packs became far less dominant than in the glory days of the 1970s and Davies, along with David Pickering and Bob Norster, was one of the few class forwards that his side could muster.
The mustachioed Davies was a useful addition to the side mostly because of his offensive ability and the fact that he could play either as flanker, number eight or lock forward.
His career is also memorable for his involvement in the so-called "Battle of Cardiff" in 1987, an extremely violent clash between Wales and England that saw Davies wind up on the wrong end of lock Wade Dooley's fist. Davies' first international appearance came in a 24–15 victory over England in Cardiff, a game that saw his brother-in-law, Jonathan Davies, also make his debut. England, who had not won in Cardiff since 1963, led the game 15–12, before fullback Chris Martin failed to take a high kick and Davies (Jonathan) scored a crucial try. Davies' next appearance came in a 40–3 victory against Fiji at the Arms Park, and he marked the occasion by scoring two of his side's seven tries.
Davies is a spelling variation of the patronymic Welsh surname Davis, that means David, a Hebrew name meaning "beloved". Davies is much associated with Wales, owing to the name of its patron saint, David, and where it is pronounced "DAY-viss". Davies is also fairly widespread in the south-west of England, especially Cornwall. Davies is the 2nd most common surname in Wales and 8th most common in England. It is not common in the United States where the spelling, Davis, is preferred.
Notable people with the surname include:

Acclaimed actor, writer and director Phil Davis has been talking to our students about his east end roots and love of acting. Essex-born Davis delivered a masterclass to UEL's MA Drama students and took a tour of the outstanding dance and performing arts spaces at University Square Stratford. Speaking about his roots Davis said: " To be honest it seemed at the time like a drawback rather than an inspiration, the teachers laughed.. Kids from my own estate didn't have a career in the theater, it wasn't the done thing. But it's given me a steely resolve. Davis is one of the UK's most successful character actors and is known for his role in the films like Quadrophenia, and the BAFTA award winning Vera Drake, and more recently as the hardened Detective Sergeant Ray Miles in the ITV series Wh...
