- Lee Byrne ist ein walisischer Rugbyspieler. Er ist für die Ospreys und die walisische Nationalmannschaft aktiv. Meist wird er als Schlussmann eingesetzt, er kann aber auch als Außendreiviertel spielen. Byrne spielte bereits während seiner Schulzeit für überregionale Auswahlmannschaften, seine Karriere begann er bei Bridgend Athletic. Nach seinen Engagement beim Tondu RFC wechselte er 2003 zu den Llanelli Scarlets, wo er sich in der Celtic League und dem Heineken Cup durch gute Leistungen für die Nationalmannschaft empfahl. Eine schwere Knieverletzung warf ihn 2004 zunächst etwas zurück. Jedoch wurde er im November 2005, als Wales im Millennium Stadium mit 3:41 gegen die All Blacks verlor, erstmals Teil des Aufgebotes. Beim folgenden Sieg gegen Fidschi und bei der Niederlage gegen Südafrika wurde Byrne ebenfalls eingesetzt. 2006 wechselte er zu den Ospreys, in seiner ersten Saison gelang ihm mit dieser Mannschaft der Gewinn der Celtic League. Trotz dieser erfolgreichen Saison wurde er nicht für den Kader zur Weltmeisterschaft berücksichtigt. Nach der Entlassung von Gareth Jenkins und der Ernennung von Warren Gatland zum neuen Nationaltrainer spielt Byrne wieder eine wichtigere Rolle. Bei den Six Nations 2008 gelang ihm ein Versuch beim Auswärtssieg in England und zwei weitere bei der Partie gegen Italien. Bei diesem Turnier gelang ihm mit Wales der Grand Slam. Am 21. April wurde er von Ian McGeechan für die Tour der British and Irish Lions nach Südafrika nominiert. Im ersten Spiel der Serie verletzte er sich, sodass er an den beiden abschließenden Spielen nicht teilnehmen konnte.
- Lee Martin Byrne is a Welsh international rugby union rugby player, currently playing for the Ospreys in the Magners League and Heineken Cup. His usual position is at full-back, although he has played on the wing. Byrne started his career playing dual-code rugby, playing Rugby Union for Tondu RFC; and after spotted playing Rugby League for Bridgend Blue Bulls, signed for the Llanelli Scarlets. Following his good performances for the Llanelli Scarlets in both the Celtic League and the Heineken Cup during the 2005–06 season, he was called up to the national squad for the November Test series. He made his debut as a replacement against the All Blacks on 5 November at Millennium Stadium. Wales lost 3–41. He also played in the win over Fiji and the loss to South Africa. He has since played during the 2006 Six Nations Championship, and earned a further two caps in a mid-year series against Argentina. His sole appearance in the 2006 Autumn internationals was on the wing against the Pacific Islands. Byrne was a revelation in the 2008 Six Nations tournament at full back and a key component of Wales' Grand Slam. While playing against Connacht in 2007, Byrne demonstrated his abilities as a stand-in kicker when he kicked two penalties and two conversions, after fly-half Shaun Connor went off injured. He has scored tries against England and Italy in the 2008 Six Nations Championship. Following his superb performances for Wales in the 2008 Autumn Internationals against South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia (which included a try against the latter), Byrne has been tipped not only for a place in the British Lions squad, but also a place in the starting 15. This was confirmed on 21 April 2009, where Byrne, along with Ireland's Rob Kearney, was selected as one of the British and Irish Lions' fullbacks for the tour. After the fourth tour match he was one of five players to be picked for three of them. Bizaarely, in January 2010 Byrne made a brief appearance as an illegal 16th player in the Ospreys' 17–12 Heineken Cup win over Leicester which led to a two-week ban. This was later overturned and replaced by a fine of 5,000 Euros leaving him free to play in Wales' opening defeat to England in the Six Nations at Twickenham. He caused controversy again in February 2010 the Scotland match when Scotland's coach Andy Robinson accused Byrne of diving to get substitute fly-half Phil Godman sent off and give Wales a penalty, from which they scored and went on to win the match. Given permission to seek a new club for the 2011-12 season, Byrne signed a three year deal to play for French club ASM Clermont Auvergne, where he will play his club rugby post the 2011 Rugby World Cup. It was announced in late March that Byrne had become engaged to ITV Wales Tonight presenter Andrea Benfield.
