Brian Phillip Cox (24 September 1928 — 13 June 2015) was an Australian rugby union international.
[1] A Shore School product, Cox was a scrum-half noted for his swift passes and made his New South Wales representative debut at the age of 19.
After coming into the team for Cyril Burke, who had been a Wallabies regular since the end of the war, Cox played four consecutive internationals, including a win over the All Blacks in Christchurch.
A fractured ankle then cost him a place on the 1953 tour of South Africa and thereafter the selectors alternated between him and Burke as preferred scrum-half.
He made his last Test appearance in 1957 and was considered unfortunate to miss selection for the 1957–58 tour of Britain, Ireland and France.
