Brian Anthony Weir (born 9 September 1947) is an Australian former international rugby union player.[1]
Raised in the Illawarra, Weir was born in Kiama and attended Wollongong's Edmund Rice College, where his rugby teammates included future Wallabies centre Geoff Shaw.[2]
Weir, a fullback, was known for his long and accurate kicking game.[2]
A NSW Country representative player, Weir won a place on the Wallabies squad for their 1969 tour to South Africa, after a strong goal-kicking performance for the "Possibles" during the trials. He served as an understudy to Arthur McGill and was restricted to the non-international tour matches, amassing over 50 points.[3]
