Thomas Wallace (25 April 1892 — 9 September 1954) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Wallace was educated at Coleraine Academical Institution and Queen's University Belfast.[1]
After wartime service in the Royal Army Medical Corps, Wallace set up a medical practice in Cardiff and played rugby for Cardiff RFC. He could play both fullback and three-quarter, with his three Ireland caps in 1920 coming as a centre. For his final appearance, against Wales in Cardiff, Wallace was given the captaincy.[2] In 1924, Wallace was in the Cardiff team which faced the unbeatable All Blacks, contributing a conversion and penalty goal.[3]
