Guy Reginald Hind (4 April 1887 – 8 November 1970) was an English international rugby union player.

Biography

A native of Stoke-on-Trent, Hind was the second-born son of surgeon Wheelton Hind and a grandson of botanist William Marsden Hind.[1] He attended Haileybury and Imperial Service College, then followed his father into medicine.[2]

Hind, a forward, was involved in hospital's rugby and also played for Blackheath. In 1908, Hind travelled to Australasia with the British Lions side (then known as Anglo-Welsh) and featured in two of the three matches against the All Blacks, amongst 14 tour appearances. He later gained two England caps, debuting in their 1910 Calcutta Cup win over Scotland, before a match against Ireland at Lansdowne Road the following year.[3]
