Career
Scrine"s style of play was as a fast spoiling player and was first capped for Wales in 1899 against England. Swansea born, Scrine played most of his rugby for first class team Swansea Rugby Football Club. He was selected to play for Wales in the 1899 Home Nations Championship, and was selected alongside fellow Swansea players Billy Bancroft, Tom Parker and the "Curly haired marmasets", David and Evan James.
In the first international at Swansea"s ground, Street Helens, for four years Wales beat England with some ease.
Scrine had a solid game and set up Willie Llewellyn for his third try during the game. Scrine was back two months later in the same tournament, but this time against Scotland.
He would get his day against the Irish two years later when selected again for a game at Street Helens. In 1906, Scrine was part of a players" revolt at his club side Swansea, over the nature of professionalism, and managed to change the club rules.
Scrine would later clash with the WRU in 1907, when as part of an investigation into professionalism at Aberdare and Treorchy, Scrine was temporarily suspended for breaking union payment laws.
