International honours
Jack Waring won a cap for England while at St. Helens, he played right-centre, i.e. number 3, and scored a last-minute try in the 8-5 victory over Wales at the Watersheddings, Oldham on Saturday 9 November 1940, in front of a crowd of 5,000.
Club career
Jack Waring made his début for Featherstone Rovers on Monday 22 November 1947, he appears to have scored no drop-goals (or field-goals as they are currently known in Australasia), but prior to the 1974–75 season all goals, whether; conversions, penalties, or drop-goals, scored 2-points, consequently prior to this date drop-goals were often not explicitly documented, therefore '0' drop-goals may indicate drop-goals not recorded, rather than no drop-goals scored. In addition, prior to the 1949–50 season, the archaic field-goal was also still a valid means of scoring points.
