Colin Lloyd Charvis (born December 27, 1972 in Sutton Coldfield , England ) is a former Welsh rugby union player who was used in the positions of winger and number eight . He last played for the Newport Gwent Dragons and was part of the Welsh national team .
Charvis began his career with the London Welsh before moving to the Welsh club Swansea RFC in 1995. He played his first international match against Australia the following year . Soon after, he was named national team captain and was part of the British and Irish Lions squad in 2001.
Charvis stayed with Swansea until 2003 when the club structure in Wales changed. Regional teams were formed from the previous clubs, which compete in the professional Celtic League against Scottish and Irish teams. Following the 2003 World Cup , he moved to Tarbes in France and soon afterwards to the Newcastle Falcons , where he was also the captain. His contract with the Falcons was not renewed at the end of the 2005/06 season, so he moved to the Newport Gwent Dragons .
Charvis holds the world record for most attempts scored by a striker. On November 24, 2007 he put against the reigning world champion South Africa the last of his 22 attempts.
After the 2008/09 season, Charvis ended his club career. For his last season he extended his contract with the Dragons and was mainly active as a defensive coach. However, if necessary, he was still used as a player. In the coming season he will work exclusively as an assistant coach.
