Windsor Cynwyd Major (15 June 1927 – 5 April 2022) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
Born in Llangynwyd, Major attended Maesteg Comprehensive School and was still a teenager when he debuted for Maesteg RFC, playing initially in the same side as his father.[1]
Major was strong wing three-quarter and gained two Wales caps. He made his debut in Wales' final fixture of the 1949 Five Nations, a loss to France in Paris. His other appearance came in a 12–0 win over Scotland during their 1950 Five Nations campaign, which culminated in them claiming the grand slam for the fourth time.[2] He was a member of a Maesteg team that went unbeaten throughout the 1949–50 season.[3]
