Roy Jennings (14 August 1905 – 5 October 1968) was an English international rugby union player.
The son of a leather merchant, Jennings hailed from the Cornwall town of Redruth and was educated locally at Redruth County School, before completing his schooling at Taunton School.[1]
Jennings spent his rugby career in Cornwall and was a prolific points–scorer for his club Redruth RFC, as a goal–kicking fullback and three–quarter. His first appearance for Cornwall was as a 19-year old against the "Invincible" 1924–25 All Blacks and he played a total of 61 matches for his county.[2] He was a seven–time England trialist, without ever getting a call up, and in 1930 toured New Zealand and Australia with the British Lions.[3] Over the course of the tour, Jennings contributed 12 tries, which included three against Victoria and four against Western Australia.[4]
