The Tatler of 25 October 1922 reporting:[3] H. H. FORSAYTH, the brilliant Oxford and Scotland full back, created quite a small sensation the other day by turning out for Blackheath.
It had been generally assumed, and indeed announced in the Press, that, having finished his Oxford career, he would return to Australia but he appeared at the Rectory Field against Newport, and is said to be available for the rest of the season.
It was to be observed during the first aid so zealously administered by R. Edwards, the burly English International playing for Newport, that Forsayth had tied up his stockings with what appeared to be a stay-lace if there are such things nowadays -and if this were too tight it might easily cause cramp.
The fact that Forsayth returned to Rugby in the red and black of Blackheath, and not in the chaste attire of the London Scottish, furnished food for mirth to the ungodly, who chose to see in this an indication of the slenderness of the player's connection with Scotland, for whom he has played so many great games during the past two seasons.
He came to Oxford from Australia, I believe, as a Rhodes scholar, and doubtless had some sort of kinship with Scotland, who were glad enough to secure his services at a time when they were suffering from a dearth of fullbacks.
