He made two [[rugby union]] tours, to [[New Zealand]] in 1905 with the first full Australian team and later on the epic [[1908-09 Australia rugby union tour of the British Isles~~, Canada~~ and ~~the~~France]] under captain [[Herbert Moran ~~United~~\|Paddy ~~States~~Moran]]. On both trips he only played one game due to injury.
