Walter Neville Lapage (5 February 1883 – 17 May 1939) was an English international rugby union player.
Born in Nantwich, Lapage attended Naval College straight out of school.[1] He played rugby as a three-quarter for the Royal Navy and United Services. In 1908, Lapage was capped four times for England. He scored tries in both of his first two matches, playing as a centre, then got moved to the wing when Henry Vassall came into the side.[2]
Lapage served on the HMS Tiger during the Battle of Jutland and at the time of his retirement had command of the HMS Hood, which was then the largest warship in the world.[1][3]
