Tom Clapp (25 October 1858 – 15 October 1933) was an English-born international rugby union forward who played club rugby for Newport and Nantyglo RFC.
Born in Portman Square, Marylebone, London, but raised in Somerset,[3] Clapp's family moved to Nantyglo when he was still in his youth.
Clapp would play his early rugby for Blaina before moving to Nantyglo RFC.
Wales won the game due to a try being worth a single point, as they were out scored 3 tries to one, but a drop goal from Arthur Gould gave the visitors the win.
Clapp retained the captaincy for the next match against Scotland, and led his country in their first win against the Scottish team.
