Gus Spillane

Augustine Patrick "Gus" Spillane (10 May 1888 – 16 September 1974) was a New Zealand rugby union player. Primarily a first five-eighth, Spillane represented South Canterbury at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, in 1913. He appeared in two matches for the All Blacks, both of them internationals against the touring Australian team, in which he played at second-five eighth. Spillane later became a referee and controlled games in Taranaki and Whanganui. He died in Timaru in 1974, and was buried at Temuka Cemetery.

A trophy donated by Spillane, the Spillane Cup, has been competed for annually by North Island Marist rugby clubs since 1931.
