Robert Webb (rugby union)

James William George Webb (17 October 1900 – 19 August 1970) was an English international rugby union player.

Born in Upton, Northampton, Webb took up rugby after the war, starting out in the Northampton "A" team. He took a while to establish himself and wasn't a regular in the Northampton firsts until the 1924–25 season. A sizeable forward, Webb possessed enough pace to be dangerous on the loose and was a good scrummager. He represented the East Midlands and gained three caps for England, across the 1926 and 1929 Five Nations.

Webb married the sister-in-law of England footballer Fanny Walden.

During World War II, Webb served with the Observer Corps.
