T. E. C. "Tommy" Hobson (26 March 1881 - 2 September 1937) was a South African international rugby union player.
Hobson played his club rugby at Hamilton and represented West Province at both cricket and rugby.[1]
He appeared in his only Test match during the tour of South Africa by the British Isles team in 1903.[2]
As a cricketer he played two first-class matches for Western Province, both back to back fixtures in the 1906/07 Currie Cup. A bowler, he wasn't used in his debut match against Eastern Province, with the other bowlers dismissing their opponents cheaply in both innings. His next match was played against Griqualand West and he took 4/32 in the first innings and one more wicket in the second.[3]
