Pat Ward (rugby union)

Edward Percival Ward (28 June 1899 — 25 September 1958) was a New Zealand international rugby union player.

Ward was born in Timaru and attended the Waimataitai school.

A strongly built utility forward, Ward began in provincial rugby at South Canterbury in 1921. He next played with Canterbury and then in 1927 featured for his third union when he was transferred to Taranaki for work. It was from Taranaki that he won an All Blacks call up in 1928, as their sole representative on the tour of South Africa, where he made 10 uncapped appearances. He captained Taranaki against the 1930 British Lions.
