James Lytle (rugby union)


James Hill Lytle was an Irish international rugby union player.
Lytle was a grandson of former Belfast mayor John Lytle and attended Merchiston Castle School in Scotland.
A strong scrummaging forward, Lytle played for Belfast club North of Ireland and was a noted goal-kicker, specialising in shots from distance. He made his Ireland debut playing beside his brother John during their triple crown-winning 1894 Home Nations campaign. Capped 12 times, Lytle finished his career with another triple crown win in 1899.
Lytle moved to Buenos Aires for business reasons around the turn of the century.
