Paul Ringer won eight caps for Wales in rugby union and two in rugby league becoming a dual code international. He plated at club level for Ebbw Vale, Llanelli and Leicester. An abrasive and uncompromising forward, in a notorious international match between Wales and England at Twickenham in 1980 he was sent off after just 15 minutes for a challenge on English outside half John Horton controversially deemed as late by the referee. This controversy proved costly for Ringer as he was not selected for that summer's British Lions Tour to South Africa. He turned professional with Cardiff Blue Dragons in 1983 scoring 13 tries in 69 appearances.
