'''Peter Harold Boyne Burge''' (14 February 1884 – 15 July 1956) was an [[Australia]]nAustralian [[rugby football]]er and coach. He represented his country in both [[rugby league]] and [[rugby union]]. The eldest of the four [[Burge Family|Burge brothers]], Peter was one of the first Australian [[List of dual-code rugby internationals|dual-code rugby internationals]].
 
==Rugby union career==
Playing [[rugby union]] with South Sydney in 1904 the twenty-year -old Burge was selected for the Metropolis (City) representative side against the Great Britain tourists. When the [[All Blacks]] toured in 1905 Burge played against them firstly for Metropolis and then in a [[New South Wales Waratahs|New South Wales]] side.
 
Burge, a [[lock (rugby union)|lock]] claimed a total of three international rugby caps for Australia. In two of these matches, he served as captain. His debut game was against New Zealand, at Sydney, on 20 July 1907. He made two [[rugby union]] tours, to [[New Zealand]] in 1905 with the first full Australian team and later on the epic [[1908-091908–09 Australia rugby union tour of the British Isles and FranceBritain]] under captain [[Herbert Moran|Paddy Moran]]. On both trips he only played one game due to injury. On the Wallaby tour of 1908 he broke his tibia in his first match against Devon. He took no further part in the tour and one of the replacements sent over to fill the touring squad was his brother [[Albert Burge]].
 
==Rugby league career==
He was one of the fourteen 1908-091908–09 Wallabies including [[Chris McKivat]], [[Charles McMurtie]], [[Charles Russell (rugby)|"Boxer" Russell]] and [[Arthur McCabe]] who defected to [[rugby league]] after their return from the Olympics and the epic tour. In Burge's case he joined his brother Alby in the 1909 "Wallabies v Kangaroos" promotional match which then disqualified him from the amateur code.
He joined the [[South Sydney Rabbitohs]] in 1910 but then the following year linked with [[Albert Burge|Alby]] and [[Frank Burge|Frank]] at [[Glebe (rugby league team)|Glebe]].
 
He toured Great Britain on the [[1911–12 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain]], captained by his former Wallaby and then Glebe captain, [[Chris McKivat]]. He made four tour matches appearances for Australia.
 
Along with McMurtie and [[Bob Stuart (rugby)|Bob Stuart]], Peter Burge made his international league debut in a tour match on that 1911 tour but did not play in any Tests. Collectively they were therefore Australia's 17th to 19th dual-code rugby internationals.

==Coaching career==
 
Like Frank Burge had done in 1927, Peter in 1937 coached the [[St. George Dragons]].
 
==Death==
Peter Burge died suddenly at his brother Frank's house in [[Hurstville, New South Wales]] on 15 July 1956, age 72. He was buried at [[Waverley Cemetery]] with his parents, Peter and Emily Burge.<ref>Sydney Morning Herald: Death Notice - 17 July 1956</ref>
 
Peter Burge died at [[Hurstville, New South Wales]] on 15 July 1956, age 72.
