Gerald Venables Kyrke (7 September 1882 – 8 March 1932)[1] was an English international rugby union forward who played club rugby for Marlborough Nomads and was selected for the 1908 Anglo-Welsh tour of New Zealand and Australia.
When Kyrke was offered a place on a tour with invitational team, the Barbarians in 1903 he was already a Nomads player, and was still with the club at the age of 26 when he was invited to tour with the 1908 Anglo-Welsh team.
[2] The Anglo-Welsh was an early incarnation of the British Lions and the 1908 team was assembled to tour New Zealand and Australia.
Kyrke played twelve games for the Anglo-Welsh team, including one Test Match.
Although Kyrke toured with the Anglo-Welsh, he was never chosen to represent England.
