The Welsh player Ivor Jones, who played alongside him in the tour, described Willie Welsh as "one of the truly great forwards". Bill McLaren, who would later play for Hawick RFC himself, remembers the game of Willie Welsh. "I was brought up on stories of the great Scottish players of the twenties, many of whom I never saw play but knew all about… I used to go with my father to see matches at a very early age, the great Hawick heroes including Willie Welsh, Jock Beattie and Jerry Foster, so I had an all-consuming desire to wear the green jersey of Hawick." Welsh was also a fine rugby sevens player: "My father's generation regarded Willie as one of the finest all-round footballers ever to play for Hawick. He was best known as a loose-forward and he had speed and exceptionally safe hands. He was skilled enough to have played as a back, and indeed he did so on one famous occasion, the Jed-Forest final of 1932, that I heard about as a boy, when a Hawick seven, containing five forwards were 0–15 down at the change-over to a powerful Dunfermline seven containing internationalists Harry Lind and . Some of the Hawick support were leaving the ground and they missed an incredible Hawick rally in which Willie Welsh played a major role, helping Hawick to an 18–15 victory." He was on the 1930 British Lions tour to New Zealand and Australia.
