Peter Ratcliffe Rothwell (7 July 1929 — 12 September 2013) was an Australian rugby union international.[1]
Educated at North Sydney Technical High School, Rothwell was a Northern Suburbs fullback, capped four times for the Wallabies. He made his way into the national team in 1951, for a home series against the All Blacks, having impressed with his accurate goal-kicking for New South Wales.[2] [3] After playing all three Tests in the series, Rothwell made only one further Wallabies appearance, in a win over Fiji at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1952.[3]
