He represented Old Merchant Taylors and King's College Hospital RFC. Internationally he represented the England national rugby union team in 29 tests (1921–1929) (seven as captain) and also captained the British Isles in four tests on the 1924 British Lions tour to South Africa as a lock. He finished on the winning side in 22 of his 29 England matches. He was commissioned in the Grenadier Guards in 1918–1919. In addition to rugby he excelled at swimming and water-polo, winning half-blues in each.[1] Rugby careerCove-Smith was a talented schoolboy player at Merchant Taylors School, and carried that talent through to university, playing in three Varsity Matches for Cambridge University from 1919 to 1921, winning his sporting 'Blues'.[2] He led the 1924 British Lions tour to South Africa, losing three of the four tests and drawing one. As captain, he led England to the 1928 Grand Slam and he was inducted onto the World Rugby Museum Wall of Fame[3] in 2001. He also led a distinguished medical career and served as a vice-president of the British Medical Association. Personal lifeIn 1933, he married Florence Margaret Harris.[4] Together, they had three children: Rona Cove-Smith (now Blythe), Penelope Cove-Smith (now Newell-Price) and John Rodney Cove-Smith. Penelope and Rodney followed in their father's footsteps by reading medicine and Rona followed her mother in becoming a nurse, later co-authoring Guidelines for Clinical Nursing Practices: Related to a Nursing Model.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Ronald Cove-Smith : Rugby Player|date=28 August 2009|work=militarian.com|url=http://www.militarian.com/threads/ronald-cove-smith-rugby-player.8132/|accessdate=27 March 2013}} 2. ^{{cite book |last=Griffiths |first=John|coauthors= |title=British Lions |year=1990 |publisher=Crowood Press |location=Swindon|page=38 |isbn=1-85223-541-1}} 3. ^Ronald Cove-Smith at the RFU Wall of Fame 4. ^{{cite web|title=DR.
