Lee Martin Byrne (born 1 June 1980 in Bridgend, Wales) is a Welsh international rugby union rugby player, who plays for Newport Gwent Dragons in the Pro 12 league. 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 Bridgend Athletic RFC; and Tondu RFC, and after being spotted playing Rugby League for Bridgend Blue Bulls, he 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 the 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 Championship 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 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 had been tipped not only for a place in the British and Irish Lions squad, but also a place in the starting 15. This was confirmed on 21 April 2009, when Byrne, along with Ireland's Rob Kearney, were 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.Bizzarly, 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 2010 Six Nations Championship match at Twickenham.He caused controversy again in February 2010 during 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.On 8 January 2014, it was reported that Byrne had agreed to join Newport Gwent Dragons from the end of the 2013–14 season.
