Jimmie Ireland

Jimmie Ireland (10 December 1903 - 25 October 1998) was a Scotland international rugby union player.

In 1996, he opened a block of hospitality suites at Murrayfield Stadium each one bearing a name of that famous XV.

He was given a bill by the SRU for the loss of the Scotland jersey of 12 shillings and 6 pence.

As Chairman, in 1949, he saw that Australia, South Africa and New Zealand were admitted as full members for the first time.

An anecdote he often told at rugby dinners was the time he asked his boss for Saturday morning off as he was playing for Scotland at Murrayfield.
