Ernest Harold Harding (22 May 1899 – 25 December 1980) was an English international rugby union player.[1]
A back-row forward, Harding played his rugby for Devonport Services and the Royal Navy.[2]
Harding had to wait until he was 31 years-of-age to gain an England cap, due to his Navy duties often making him unavailable for selection. He made his only international appearance in a 1931 Five Nations match against Ireland at Twickenham, as wing-forward in an all new back row, along with Pop Dunkley and Peter Hordern.[3]
