Bede Smith was a tough centre, who played 18 times for the Waratahs, the rugby team of New South Wales. He played four test matches, three of them against New Zealand. He was selected to tour with the Wallabies, the Australian national team, in Britain in 1908. Although not the tour's most important games, he did play a match against a Cornwall team, which decided the Olympic title, and Smith won a gold medal for this performance. |
