Arthur John Buchan (28 September 1924 — 20 June 2020) was an Australian rugby union international.
Educated at Sydney Technical High School, Buchan was speedy number eight, who kept fit as a surf lifesaver with the Cronulla SLSC.[1] He played his 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 in addition to featuring in both Test matches also captained the team in a tour match against Canterbury. He played all five Tests on the 1947–48 tour of Britain, Ireland and France, before appearing with the Wallabies for the final time in 1949.[3]
