Arthur Boucher (29 June 1870 – 25 April 1948) was a Welsh international rugby union forward who played club rugby for Newport. Boucher was an adaptable player, who although selected mainly as a forward, often played at centre. He was strong, quick for his position and passed well on the run. He was often noted for his kicking skills and kicked several drop goals each season even as a forward. Boucher was one of the last great all-round Welsh players before positional specialisation was adopted. Boucher played for the invitational Barbarians and became their club secretary between 1894 and 1899. He is the maternal grandfather of Dick King-Smith.

  • Arthur William Boucher, né le 29 juin 1870 à et mort le 25 avril 1948 à Dinas Powys, est un joueur de rugby à XV gallois. Il évolue au poste d'avant pour le pays de Galles et le club de Newport ; Arthur Boucher dispute treize matches avec l'équipe du pays de Galles. Il participe au premier tournoi britannique remporté par le pays de Galles en obtenant une Triple Couronne. Boucher est un joueur polyvalent, qui s'il est sélectionné seulement comme avant, joue parfois en club au poste de centre. Il est fort, rapide et bien positionné sur les actions. Il est adroit au pied et marque des drops même en jouant devant. Il est polyvalent à une époque où les spécialisations par poste sont moindres. Boucher est retenu à plusieurs reprises par le club sur invitation des Barbarians et il devient leur secrétaire entre 1894 et 1899. (fr)
