Richard West (rugby union)

Richard West is a former English rugby union player who played primarily as a prop. He is best known for his time playing for Leicester Tigers during the amateur era. West was a mainstay of the Leicester pack and known for his strong scrummaging and work rate around the field.

While he did not win full international caps for England, he represented his country at 'A' level and was considered a highly respected club player. Details about his birthdate, other club affiliations (if any), and post-rugby career are limited, reflecting the lower profile of players from the pre-professional era. More comprehensive biographical information is difficult to obtain due to the lack of readily available digital records from that time.
