MARK CHISHOLM has been a mainstay of the forward pack over the past three years, playing in all but one of the past 33 Wallabies Test matches. The damaging ball carrier can play in the Number 6 jersey or his customary lock position.
1998: Graduated from Gregory Terrace in Brisbane.
2000: Was named Queensland Rugby Colt of the season and selected for the Australian Under 19s.
2002: Represented the Australian Under 21s team for the second year in a row and was a member of the Queensland Reds Super 12 squad and a product of the Reds Rugby College.
2003: Joined the Brumbies and played seven Super 12 matches as a replacement in his debut season, gaining valuable experience behind Wallabies David Giffin and Justin Harrison.
2004: Played a key role in the Brumbies Super 12 championship, before winning selection in the Wallaby squad for the winter series and ultimately making his Test debut against Scotland on the Spring Tour.
2005: Started at lock in six of his 12 Tests including wins over France and South Africa on home soil, as well as scoring tries in his two run-on Tests against Samoa and then Italy.
2006: Started every Super 14 match for the Brumbies at lock and was one of only three Wallaby forwards to play in every Test, starting three matches at blindside flanker and two at lock.
2007: Shouldered the extra responsibility of calling lineouts for the Brumbies and once again started all 13 matches at lock, before adding six Test appearances for the Wallabies, playing one Test each at lock and blindside flanker and four more as replacement.
Off Field: Mark is currently completing a Diploma of Management (Business) with Australian Vocational Training Academy
