Christopher Hobart McKivat was an Australian half-back born on 27 November 1880 in Cumnock, New South Wales, who played both rugby union and rugby league for his country. He is the only man to have captained both the Australian rugby union and rugby league national teams. He played for the Wallabies from 1907, captained the side that won the 1908 Olympic gold medal, then joined Glebe in rugby league in 1910 and led Australia in all three Tests of the 1911 to 1912 Kangaroo tour, which brought the first Rugby League Ashes success. He later coached Glebe, Wests and North Sydney, guiding North Sydney to premierships in 1921 and 1922, and he died in 1941 aged 60.
