Owen Lawman Bridle (28 July 1910 — 24 April 1983) was an Australian rugby union international.[1]
Born in Exmouth, Devon, Bridle grew up in England but was a product of Melbourne rugby.[2]
Bridle played his early Melbourne rugby for St. Kilda and in 1931 made the
All Blacks. He was capped 12 times in total for the Wallabies.[2]
Having trained with VFL club Footscray in 1937, Bridle found himself disqualified from amateur rugby by the Victorian Rugby Union for a year and was unable to make his way back into the Wallabies lineup.[3]
