Will Matthews (born 14 January 1985 in Oxford) is rugby union footballer, who plays at flanker or number eight for London Wasps. He previously played for Gloucester Rugby, Birmingham and Solihull R.F.C. and Blackheath F.C.. He has also represented England Sevens, making his debut in 2005 in Singapore.
Will went to Millfield on a football scholarship, actually being on the books at Oxford United before taking up rugby. Spotted by an England coach doing a handling session at the school, he was promptly invited to Gloucester, where he was signed.
He posed in the 2006 Dieux du Stade calendar, organized by the Stade Français; one of only a few non-French players to do so.
