Otto Nothling

Rugby union career Nothling, a fullback, claimed a total of 19 international rugby caps for Australia, playing against New Zealand, Maoris and South Africa. A few weeks later he was selected for the Second Test. He opened the bowling but took no wickets, and made 44 in the second innings, adding 101 for the fifth wicket with Jack Ryder.

His best first-class score was 121, scored in 145 minutes, for Queensland against New South Wales shortly after his Test appearance in 1928–29. His best bowling figures were 5 for 39 against New South Wales in 1927–28 in the second innings, when Queensland almost won the drawn match after being made to follow on. In a club match for Maryborough against Gayndah in December 1929 he took 10 for 16 in the first innings.

Later life After graduating as a doctor, Nothling briefly practised medicine in Dubbo in western New South Wales before returning to Queensland.

Nothling served in World War II as a medical officer, with the rank of major, in Egypt and Greece from 1940 until 1943, when he was invalided out. He later became a dermatologist, practising in Brisbane.
