Billy Douglas (rugby union)
William 'Billy' Douglas (2 July 1863 - 24 September 1943) was a Welsh rugby union back who played club rugby for Cardiff and international rugby for Wales. Douglas was also a rugby referee, and officiated over four international matches.
==Rugby career==
Douglas played club rugby for Cardiff, and in the 1885–86 season he succeeded Frank Hancock as the senior club captain.〔Marshall, Francis ''Football; the Rugby union game'' (1892) Cassell and company Ltd. pg 265〕 Douglas was first selected to play for the Welsh national team as part of the 1886 Home Nations Championship in the opening game against England. The team was captained by Newport's Charlie Newman and Douglas was one of three Cardiff players gaining their first cap in the game. Although Wales lost the game, the margin was low and Douglas was re-selected for the very next Welsh international, this time to Scotland. Wales lost this game, but due to a dispute with Ireland failed to complete all the matches in the tournament. In the next year's tournament Douglas was selected for the first two games. The first was a drawn game against England at Llanelli, the country's best result to date against the English. His fourth and final game was the team's second game of the 1887 Championship, away to Scotland, which Wales again lost.
Four years after the end of his international playing career, Douglas began his international refereeing career.〔(Welsh international referee roll of honour )〕 Douglas was chosen to referee the 1891 Home Nations Championship match between Ireland and England at Lansdowne Road. His second match as referee was in 1894, in a match between England and Ireland played this time at the Rectory Field. His final two international games as a referee were both between England and Scotland, in 1896 and 1903. The 1903 match was of particular note, as it saw the only appearance of Scotland's John Dallas, who also scored a try in the game. Dallas would himself go on to referee at international level, in the infamous 1905 game between Wales and New Zealand.
