Rhys Griffiths, one of the two sons of former Wales player and head coach Clive Griffiths, was actually selected by his father for the both the Wales Students and Wales men's side during his career. He was part of the Wales men's side who won the European Cup in 2009 and played in the final against Scotland. He played for Wales Students in the 2008 World Cup and was a Four Nations winner in 2009. A student with Leeds Met, Rhys spent some time playing in academy and reserve sides, but his only first grade rugby league match were his Wales men's caps. Eventually he switched to physiotherapy as a career and was the Wales men's side physiotherapist in 2014.
