Roy Jennings scored 44 points in nine games for the Lions during the 1930 Tour of Australia and New Zealand.
 
The wing ran in 12 tries for the tourists but did not appear in any of the four Test matches against the host nations. He did, however, score three tries against Victoria in a 41-36 win.
 
Jennings was inducted into the hall of fame at Cornish club Redruth - where he played his club rugby - in 2012. He played for the Reds for 15 years and has the Roy Jennings Cup awarded in his honour to the player who has been the most consistent that season.
