William John Warlow (10 March 1908 – 4 August 1996) was an Australian international rugby union player.[1]
A pacy three-quarter with a good defence, Warlow was a rugby league convert and played for Brisbane club Valleys, from where he made his Queensland representative debut in 1932.[2]
Warlow was preferred over Cyril Towers for a place on the 1933 Wallabies squad which toured South Africa. Wallabies captain Alex Ross, a New South Welshman, reportedly didn't rate Warlow and he played little part in the tour, with his appearances limited to four minor matches.[2] He went on to coach Valleys.[3]
