Arnold Joseph Tancred (30 October 1904 – 22 September 1963) was an Australian rugby union player, a state and national representative flanker.
[2] He was educated in New Zealand, where his father took the family pursuing opportunities in the meat trade, at St. Patrick's College, Wellington.
[3] He claimed a total of three international rugby caps for Australia on the 1927–28 Waratahs tour of the British Isles, France and Canada.
He was fortified by his experiences as a player with the 1927-28 Waratahs and he had an aching ambition for victory",[4] Sir Nicholas Shehadie was in the playing squad and wrote of Tancred.
Thomas Tancred, Arnold's father, branched out in 1869, starting a wholesale and retail meat business on Glebe Island in Sydney[6] before taking the family to New Zealand.
