Twickenham came to a hushed standstill on Saturday before the England v Scotland match for a minute's silence in memory of former British Lions and Scotland captain Mike Campbell-Lamerton.
Mr Campbell-Lamerton, former president and treasurer of Oxford University RFC, died last Friday, aged 71.
Capped 23 times for Scotland between 1961 and 1966, the second row captained the British Lions on the 1966 tour to Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Brian Morgan, former administrator of Oxford University RFC, said: "Mike and I worked closely together for a number of years. He was a big man, but he was a friendly man with solid ideas."
Mr Campbell-Lamerton played club rugby for Blackheath, Halifax, London Scottish and the Army.
He was bursar at Balliol College, Oxford, from 1985 to 1998, and was awarded the MBE in 1977 and the OBE in 1981.
Dr John Jones, the Vice Master of Balliol, said: "He was a great colleague, a good and popular bursar and a special friend to college sport."
Born in Malta in 1933, Mr Campbell-Lamerton enjoyed a distinguished military career after joining the Duke of Wellington's Regiment in 1952. He rose to the rank of colonel and served as commander of the graduate college of the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst.
He lived in Burmington, near Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire. He is survived by his wife, daughter and three sons, one of whom, Jeremy, also played rugby for Scotland, winning three caps in 1986 and 1987.
His funeral will be held at 12.30pm next Thursday, at St George's Church, in Lower Brailes, Warwickshire.
