Football Codes

Robinson M. Bordley, known as Robbie, was born around 1947 and is an American former rugby union player who played fly-half and fullback for the United States men's national team. He captained the Eagles in their first two modern-era test matches in 1976, a defeat to Australia in January and a match against France in June, and made five test appearances in total through 1978. Before rugby he starred at Princeton University, where he played football and lacrosse and earned all-Ivy League honors in both sports, and he later played for the Washington Rugby Football Club for more than a decade. Away from the field he taught at Landon School and coached its boys' lacrosse team for 42 seasons, winning 655 games, and he was inducted into the U.S. Rugby Hall of Fame in 2013.
