Arthur John Buchan (28 September 1924 — 20 June 2020) was an Australian rugby union international. Educated at Sydney Technical High School, Buchan was a speedy number eight who kept fit as a surf lifesaver with the Cronulla SLSC.[1] He played first-grade rugby for Sydney University, Randwick and St. George.[2]
Buchan was capped 10 times for the Wallabies, debuting on the 1946 tour of New Zealand, where he featured in both Test matches and captained the team in a tour match against Canterbury.
