Sydney Charles Newman (27 July 1919 – 2 June 1990) was a South African-born England rugby union representative.
Born and raised in South Africa, Newman was a fullback, capped three times for England while in the country to study at the University of Oxford, where he was a rugby blue.[1] He also played for Moseley.[2]
Newman made his England debut in their 1947 Five Nations win over France at Twickenham. He started the 1948 season as England's fullback in the one-off Test against Australia and two weeks later gained his third cap in a Five Nations match against Wales. His first-minute penalty goal in the Wales match, a difficult shot from distance under heavy rain, was England's only score in a 3–3 draw that secured their only points of the campaign.[3]
