The tallest player in the Wallaby squad at 204cm, DAN VICKERMAN has been a vital cog in the Wallabies forward pack since the 2003 Rugby World Cup and enters his second Cup campaign on the back of a strong winter Test campaign following shoulder surgery at the end of the 2006 season. He is considered one of the premier locks in the game.
1999: Represented the South African Under 21s team.
2000: Moved to Australia and toured New Zealand with the Australian Under 21s after a standout first season with Sydney University in the NSW Premier Rugby competition.
2001: Contracted to the Brumbies where he made his debut against the Sharks in Durban playing in a total of seven Super 12 matches.
2002: Was still eligible to play for South Africa or Australia, but his fate was sealed when he was selected to play for Australia A against Canada before making his Test debut as a replacement against France in Sydney.
2003: Played in 11 of the 14 Wallabies Tests predominantly as a replacement behind Nathan Sharpe and Justin Harrison and signed with the Waratahs following his Super 14 season with the Brumbies.
2004: Ended the Test season as a starting lock with the Wallabies, in the absence of Nathan Sharpe on the Spring Tour of France and the UK, having played every match during the winter as a replacement
2005: Was limited to just four Test appearances due to a recurring shoulder injury.
2006: Played 10 of 13 Tests for the Wallabies after playing a pivotal role in the Waratahs second consecutive Super 14 semi finals campaign. Was vice captain of the Wallabies for all nine winter Tests before leaving the Spring Tour after only one match with a shoulder injury.
2007: Major shoulder surgery forced him to miss the entire 2007 Super 14 season before he rebounded strongly to start six of the seven Wallabies winter Tests.
Off Field: Dan has completed a Bachelor of Financial Planning through Open University (RMIT)
