Who is James Carson?
John James Carson was a rugby union player who represented Australia.
Carson, a prop, was born in Grahamstown and claimed one international rugby caps for Australia. His debut game was against Great Britain, at Sydney, on 24 June 1899, the inaugural rugby Test match played by an Australian national representative side. Zavos describes Carson as a "formidable front-rower" and quotes a contemporary commentator "the best all-round forward in Australia....in the pack, in the loose and on the lineout, he is equally good." Zavos cites the highest praises as being an acknowledgement by "New Zealanders" that he was as good as any forward in that country.
