Clarence Warwick Prentice (1 July 1891 – c. 1948) was an Australian rugby union and rugby league footballer who represented his country at both sports - a dual-code rugby international. He is the younger brother of fellow Wests player Ward Prentice.

Rugby union career

Prentice played rugby union with the Western Suburbs Rugby Club in Sydney and represented with the Wallabies as a prop in 1914 against the All Blacks.

Rugby league career

In 1915 Clarrie and his brother Archie joined the Western Suburbs Rugby League Club.

His international rugby league debut against New Zealand in Wellington on 23 August 1919 alongside Claud O'Donnell saw them become Australia's 20th and 21st dual code rugby internationals. It wasn't until 18 years later that Doug McLean jnr would become the next Australian dual representative.

Clarrie was selected on the 1921-22 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain. He played in all three Tests of the tour and in 22 other tour matches for Australia.
