Arthur McCabe

Arthur McCabe

Arthur John Michael McCabe (1 July 1887 – 1 May 1925) was a pioneer Australian rugby union and rugby league player. He represented for Australian in rugby union at the 1908 Summer Olympics.

He was a member of the Australian rugby union team which won the gold medal with McCabe scoring two tries in the gold medal victory. While he toured the US and England with the Wallabies in the lead-up tour prior to the Olympics his gold medal match was his sole Australian representative appearance.

On his return to Australia he joined the fledgling code of rugby league along with 13 of his Olympic teammates. He played for five seasons with the South Sydney Rabbitohs finishing his career with a premiership win in 1914. Despite representing for New South Wales in rugby league in 1910 he was unsuccessful in his bid to become a dual-code rugby international. For the season 1910, he was the NSW Rugby Football League's top try scorer.
