Alexander William Angus (11 November 1889 – 23 March 1947) was a Scottish international rugby union and cricket player.[1] [2]
He played club rugby for Watsonians.[3]
He played for Edinburgh District against Glasgow District in the 1910 inter-city match. Edinburgh won the match 26–5, with Angus scoring a try.[4]
He played for the Whites Trial side against the Blues Trial side on 21 January 1911, while still with Watsonians. He scored a drop goal in a 26–19 win for the Whites.[5]
He was capped eighteen for the rugby union team between 1909 and 1920.[3]
Richard Bath mentions him as one of the three Scottish players "who've gone the longest without (between) scoring a try for Scotland" along with Alan Tait and Gary Armstrong.[6] This is partly because World War I occurred in the middle of his international career, a period in which all international rugby ceased. He was first capped in 1909, scoring two tries in fourteen matches before the Great War.[6] His next four caps came in 1920, and he scored against on 28 February 1920 – just over nine years since his previous try.[6] Scotland won that match 19–0.[6]
He also played for the Scotland national cricket team.[3]
