Owen Joshua Lewsey MBE (born 30 November 1976) is an English rugby union footballer who plays fullback, wing or centre for Wasps and England.

Lewsey was born in Bromley in Kent and grew up in Watford in Hertfordshire, where he attended Watford Grammar School for Boys. He played for the Amersham and Chiltern Rugby Football Club. He joined Wasps at eighteen and played for their Colts side and was under-21 captain.

Despite the fact that he was born in England and has always lived in England, he could have qualified for Wales as his mother is Welsh and his father is half-Welsh and half-English. He says that, although he feels English, if asked he would have played for Wales as he thinks Red is 'his colour'.

He played for Bristol whilst attending Bristol University and rejoined Wasps at the age of twenty-one after completing his studies. He won his first England cap on the 'Tour from Hell' to Australia in 1998, and also appeared in all three tests in the 2001 North American tour. He graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 2001 and served for two years as an officer in the British Army, before opting to play professional rugby union thereafter.

He made his England home-debut in the Six Nations Championship in 2003 after an injury to Jason Robinson. He scored twice in a 40–5 win over Italy. He followed this with the opening try in his next game against Scotland, and was part of the Grand Slam winning side. He played well for Wasps and England A, and was an important member of the England side that won the Hong Kong Sevens in 2002. He also represented England in sevens at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

He had a key part in the tests against New Zealand and Australia on the June 2003 Southern-hemisphere tour. By then he was first-choice Full back, Jason Robinson having moved to wing. In Australia he got the better of Mat Rogers, tackling him almost out the game with a powerful chest tackle. He was a part of the 2003 World Cup winning squad, and scored five tries in the 111–13 defeat of Uruguay

Josh played on the right wing against Italy and Scotland in the 2004 Six Nations Championship. He scored a try in both games, and was named Man of the Match at Murrayfield.

He was selected for the 2005 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand. He made an ideal start scoring two tries in the first five minutes against Bay of Plenty.

He was selected for the 2006 Six Nations Squad, but unfortunately was injured early on in the first match of the championship against Wales with an injury to his left AC joint, he consequently missed the following match against Italy, he did however return for the next game against Scotland.

In 2006 Lewsey was given the summer off from international rugby and spent time climbing in the Himalayas reaching the base camp of K2. He did this as his team - mates spent the time relaxing on a beach holiday (destination unknown), but insisted on the expedition taking place. He did not inform his club, London Wasps, of the expedition as he was sure they would object to this dangerous exploit.On his return to competitive rugby at the Middlesex 7s he showed that this had been extremely worthwhile, scoring 11 tries, and becoming the tournaments top try and points scorer, helping Wasps win their first Middlesex 7s title since 1993.

He appeared again for the 2007 Six Nations opener against Scotland.

For London Wasps he has participated in many major title victories, the latest being the Heineken (European Cup) win for the 2007/2007 season.

    Josh Owen in the news

    He's in a good mood. There was the usual teasing, the partly aggressive, partly joshing humor, the certitude. He doesn't seem to be suffering which is jarring. Presidents in great enterprises that are going badly suffer: Loncoln, LBJ with his head in his hands. Why doesn't Mr. Bush?

    Tuesday night about 9:30, my buddy Josh and I were biking down the Platte River bike trail, when we were overcome with a horrible stench. I had smelled a little eau de cow manure on the trail before, but this was incredible. It was like hanging upside down in a portable toilet.

    Naomi Watts will join Clive Owen in the thrilla, 'The International' in 2009. The movie will be directed by Tom Tykwer of 'Run Lola Run' fame.
