David Samuel (rugby player)
David Samuel (1869 – 15 September 1943)〔(David Samuel player profile ) Scrum.com〕 was a Welsh international rugby union forward who played club rugby for Swansea and international rugby for Wales. He is most notable as being a member of the very first Welsh Triple Crown winning team, in 1893.
== Rugby career ==
Samuel began his rugby, like many players from Swansea, at Morriston RFC.〔(Player profile ) Ospreys website〕 By 1891 Samuel was playing for first class club Swansea, and on 7 March was selected to represent Wales against Ireland as part of the 1891 Home Nations Championship. The game saw an influx of Swansea players into the squad, with first caps for Tom Deacon, David James, Samuel's brother John〔Griffiths (1987), 4:5.〕 as well as Samuel himself. After losses in the first two games of the tournament against Scotland and England, Wales achieved a narrow win over Ireland to avoid ending bottom of the table. Samuel was at the centre of the match scoring a vital try, which was converted by Billy Bancroft. Despite the success of the Welsh team against Ireland, Samuel was replaced the next season by Swansea team-mate Frank Mills.
In 1893 the Welsh team had achieved early success in the Home Nations Championship. The Welsh selectors had decided to keep faith with a fairly static squad, which had achieved success with wins over both England and Scotland. Under the captaincy of Welsh rugby superstar Arthur Gould, Wales faced Ireland at Stradey Park in the hope of winning their first Triple Crown Championship. Samuel was the only change to the Welsh squad after the win away to Scotland, brought in to replace Harry Day. Wales won by a single try, taking the Triple Crown for the first time, making Samuel a Home Nations Champion. Although Samuel had played in two winning games, he was not selected for any further Welsh international games.
