About Bill White
Bill White was an Australian rugby union player.
William James White (23 June 1910 — 31 August 1977) was an Australian rugby union international.
White was born in Sydney and educated at St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill, where he captained the 1st XV.
A Randwick winger, White gained selection for the 1928 New South Wales tour of New Zealand, a mere eight months since leaving school. Two of his tour matches, against NZ XV and NZ Maori, were retrospectively granted test status, due to New South Wales being effectively the country's sole representative team of the time. His third test cap four years later came in Wallabies colours, as a left winger in a win over the All Blacks at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
