Emyr Phillips (born 22 February 1987) is a retired former Welsh international rugby union player. He played most of his career as Hooker for the Scarlets having previously played for Llandovery RFC and Llanelli RFC.
In March 2012 Phillips was part of a Scarlets Rugby side that reached the semi-final of the 2012 Anglo Welsh Cup. He made three starts and four appearances in the tournament.[1] Scarlets were beaten in the semi-final by English side Northampton Saints.[2] However reaching that stage was the second best finish in the Anglo-Welsh Cup on record, for the Welsh side. Their final loss to Wasps in 2006 the only better result.
Phillips has scored 21 tries in 282 appearances for Llandovery and the Scarlets. He won the first of three international caps for Wales against Japan in 2013.[3]
