Alex Angus

Who was Alex Angus?

Alexander "Alex" William Angus was a Scottish international rugby union and cricket player.

He was capped eighteen for the Scotland rugby union team between 1909 and 1920. He played club rugby for Watsonians.

Richard Bath mentions him as one of the three Scottish players "who've gone the longest without scoring a try for Scotland" along with Alan Tait and Gary Armstrong. This is partly because World War I occurred in the middle of his international career, a period in which all international rugby ceased. He was first capped in 1909, scoring two tries in fourteen matches before the Great War. His next four caps came in 1920, and he scored against Ireland on 28 February 1920 - just over nine years since his previous try. Scotland won that match 19-0.

He also played for the Scotland national cricket team.
