Roy James McCallum (born 12 April 1946) is a former South African rugby union player.[1]
McCallum, like his older brother Ian, matriculated at Rondebosch Boys' High School in Cape Town and attended the University of Cape Town. However, he first spent two years at Stellenbosch University before moving to UCT in 1967. While at Stellenbosch, he played for the University's under–19 A team and at UCT he played for their first team. In 1968, he went to Palmer College of Chiropractic in the United States to qualify as a chiropractor.[2] He returned to South Africa and made his provincial debut for Western Province in 1972.[3]
McCallum played only one test for the Springboks, the first test against the 1974 British Lions at Newlands in Cape Town and in his debut test, his brother was playing fullback.[4] At the end of 1974 he toured with the Springboks to France, playing in four tour matches, scoring one try for the Springboks.[5]
