'''Joseph John Pullman''' (19 June 1876 – July 1955)<ref>[http://www.espnscrum.com/wales/rugby/player/2065.html Joe Pullman player profile] ESPN Scrum.com</ref> was a [Welsh](/source/Wales) international [rugby union](/source/rugby_union) forward who played club rugby for [Neath](/source/Neath_RFC) and the [Glamorgan Constabulary](/source/Glamorgan_Police_RFC). He won a single cap for [Wales](/source/Wales_national_rugby_union_team) in the [1910 Five Nations Championship](/source/1910_Five_Nations_Championship) against France.

==Rugby career==
Pullman played the majority of his rugby for Neath and was elected first team captain for the 1914/15 season. In March 1908 he joined the Glamorgan Constabulary, where he eventually became a sergeant, and also turned out for the Glamorgan Constabulary rugby union team. On 1 January 1910, Pullman was selected for his one and only international appearance for Wales in the [Five Nations Championship](/source/1910_Five_Nations_Championship) encounter with [France](/source/France_national_rugby_union_team). Pullman joined an experienced Wales team as a forward, with he and [Bridgend's](/source/Bridgend_RFC) [Ben Gronow](/source/Ben_Gronow) as the only two new caps. The game was the first ever Five Nations Championship match, and the first time France had entered the tournament. Captained by [Billy Trew](/source/Billy_Trew), Wales dominated a hapless French team scoring ten [tries](/source/Try_(rugby)) in a 49–14 victory.<ref>{{cite book |last=Griffiths |first=John|title=The Phoenix Book of International Rugby Records |year=1987 |publisher=Phoenix House |location=London|page=4:14 |isbn=0-460-07003-7}}</ref> Despite the victory Pullman was not reselected for the next game of the tournament and never represented Wales again.
