Robert Brown Welsh (born 2 February 1943) is a Scottish former international rugby union player.[1]
Born in Hawick, Welsh played for hometown club Hawick RFC and had particular success in rugby sevens, as one of three to play in every one of their sides which won ten successive tournaments during the 1960s.[2]
Welsh, a joiner by profession, was a strongly built centre and gained Scotland caps for their final two 1967 Five Nations fixtures, against Ireland at Murrayfield and a Calcutta Cup match at Twickenham.[3] [4]
