Scotland’s Peter Douty proved a versatile member of James Baxter’s 29-man party that toured Argentina in 1927.

Missing for the first Test, he started the second at full-back but switched to his favoured No.9 shirt for the third Test, scoring one of seven tries.

It was at scrum-half where Douty won all three of his Scotland caps, marking his debut against France in Colombes with a try.

Douty died in July 1948, aged 44.
