George Hayward (13 February 1888 [4] – 13 October 1946 [5] ) was a Welsh international rugby union forward who played club rugby for Swansea, and was capped for Wales on five occasions and was part of the 1908 Home Nations Championship winning team.
Hayward made his Welsh international début on Saturday 1 February 1908 against Scotland at St. Helens under the captaincy of George Travers. Wales won the controversial match by a narrow margin and Hayward was selected again for the next match of the tournament against Ireland. Wales won not only the match, but with it the Home Nations Championship and the Triple Crown. During 1908, Hayward faced the touring Australian team, as a member of the Wales, Glamorgan County [6] and Swansea teams, finishing on the winning side in the international and club level, but losing in the Glamorgan encounter. He was also part of the Swansea team that narrowly beat the touring South Africans on Boxing Day 1912.
In December 1913, Hayward left Swansea and joined professional league team Wigan, making his début on Saturday 27 December against Runcorn.
George Hayward played in Wigan's victories in the Lancashire County League during the 1913–14 season and 1914–15 season. [7]
