1930 -Wales and Ireland

Bill Agnew played in the school team 1st XV from 1926-29. He was over six foot, 13 stone in weight and he played centre! However, he moved into the forwards when he joined the FP's and immediately played for the 1st XV. He was selected for the international trial gaining his first cap against Wales, still only 19 years of age. He was the youngest ever Stewart's FP to be selected for Scotland.

 
 

He also played against Ireland and joined the Barbarians Easter tour to Wales where he played against Cardiff. The following season he played for Edinburgh. He moved to England and sustained injuries in a motor bike accident and apparently lost interest in rugby. Sadly, his great footballing abilities were lost to the game.
