Robert Wilson Shaw CBE (11 April 1913 – 23 July 1979) was a Scottish rugby union footballer who played for Scotland in 19 Tests between 1934 and 1939.〔(Wilson Shaw rugby profile ) ESPN Scrum.com〕〔Bath, p158〕 Shaw played club for Glasgow High School Former Pupils,〔 and could play in several positions in the backline; including wing, centre and fullback. He first represented Scotland in 1934 when he played all three of her Home International Championship matches (against England, Ireland, and Wales). He scored his first try in the Calcutta Cup match against England that year. He is most famous however for guiding Scotland to their Triple Crown victory over England at Twickenham in 1938. Shaw's performance was central to Scotland's 21–16 victory and he was carried off the field on the shoulders of his team-mates. The match became known as "Wilson Shaw's match". In 2002 Shaw was inducted into the Scottish Sports Hall of Fame. Wilson Shaw also played the All Blacks in 1935 in a Combined Edinburgh and Glasgow XV.〔 Shaw was selected for the Great Britain team that toured Argentina in 1936. Although no caps were awarded for the tour, Shaw was part of the one Test of the tour, a 23-0 victory over Argentina. ==1938 Triple Crown== Shaw participated in all three of Scotland's Championship matches in 1938. The first was against Wales which Scotland won 8–6 on 5 February. Although Scotland only scored one try to Wales two, their superior kicking gave them the victory. Their next match was against Ireland on 26 February, and again Scotland won—this time 23–14. Shaw had a good game, although he did not score any tries. The last match of the Championship was against England at Twickenham Stadium on 19 March. The match was played in front of 70,000 spectators. This was also the first ever rugby international to be televised. Shaw scored one try in the first half, and Scotland led 12–9 at the break. In the second half Scotland frequently penetrated the England defence. Shaw came close several times to scoring a second try, before three minutes from full-time to help Scotland to a 21–16 win. Scotland had outscored England five tries to one, and Shaw was widely credited with inspiring the win. The match became known as "Wilson Shaw's match".〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=sshf.co.uk )〕 Since was still banned from the competition at this stage, this would have been the nearest thing to a Scottish Grand Slam.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Wilson Shaw」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
