George Arthren McIlwaine

George Arthren McIlwaine was a South African rugby union player and an early twentieth century rugby union international who is known as one of the "lost lions"^[1] due to his participation on the 1927 British Lions tour to Argentina which, although retrospectively recognised as a Lions tour, did not confer test status on any of the four encounters with the Argentina national rugby union team.
