In all matches for Ireland, he scored 343 runs at an average of 14.91, with a top score of 63 against Scotland in July 1928. He took 17 wickets at an average of 30.94, with best bowling figures of 4/35 against Scotland in June 1932.
Prior to his debut for the full Irish side, he represented a North of Ireland side against Wales in June 1924.[4]
A winger, he made his debut for the Ireland rugby union team against France in the 1923 Five Nations, scoring one try. He played against England and Scotland the following year, scoring a try against England. He returned to the side for the 1928 Five Nations, playing just one match against Scotland, without scoring.[5]
