Benjamin Burns
Benjamin Henry Burns (28 May 1848 – 3 June 1932) was a Scottish rugby union footballer who represented England in the first international match against Scotland in 1871.
==Sports career==
Burns was a member of Blackheath F.C. during his early twenties, and in late 1870, along with Edwin Ash, he published a letter in ''The Times'' calling for "those who play the rugby-type game should meet to form a code of practice as various clubs play to rules which differ from others, which makes the game difficult to play." Such a meeting took place the following month, leading to the formation of the Rugby Football Union.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Player Profile: Benjamin Burns )〕 While he was serving as club secretary of Blackheath, the leading clubs in Scotland wrote a letter to the club issuing a challenge for a match between Scotland and England. Burns replied, agreeing to the contest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Calcutta Cup: the legacy of a club that died )〕 He was initially not meant to be among the 20-man England side, but the withdrawal of Francis Isherwood (who played in the second match) saw Burns take his place in the team.〔 England lost the game, which was the first international rugby match, by one goal to nil on 27 March 1871.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scotland v England at Edinburgh, Mar 27, 1871 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The first international rugby match )〕 ESPNscrum lists him as playing as a forward in the match,〔 but his obituary in ''The Evening Post'' suggests that he was a half-back. When he worked in India, Burns appeared for the Calcutta Football Club.〔
In addition to rugby, Burns was also an avid golfer, and while working in Christchurch, he was one of four promoters to establish a gold club at Hagley Park in the city. He won the Christchurch championship on two occasions, and became captain, and later life-member of the club.〔
