Stanley Thomas Meads (born 12 July 1938 in Arapuni, New Zealand) was a rugby union footballer and brother of Colin Meads, considered by some to be one of the greatest rugby footballers of all time. He played as a lock, No 8 and flanker, and scored four tries for New Zealand in 30 games (15 tests). He played for King Country between 1957 and 1966, when he abruptly announced his retirement to concentrate on his sheep farm near Te Kuiti.
