John Noble (rugby union)

John Noble is a former South African rugby union player and one of four players of colour to be included in the first multi-racial team to play a foreign team on South African soil in 1975.

Noble was selected by Danie Craven for the South African Invitation XV to play a touring French national side.

The team, which also included Turkey Shields, Toto Tsotsobe and Morgan Cushe, beat the French on 7 June 1975 at Newlands in Cape Town by 18 points to 3.

Playing on the wing, Noble scored a try after following up and diving on a grubber kick by Dawie Snyman.
