| How did you first get into Rugby? |
I used to date the best mate of my first coach at Souths Rugby Club in Brisbane in 1994 when they needed extra players... |
| Representative honours |
24 International Caps. Debut V New Zealand, 1994 |
| Best moments |
Beating NSW at the National Titles in Darwin in 1998 in the last minute of the game... beating New Zealand in the last minute of the game in Samoa for the IRB 7's World Cup Qualifiers this year... |
| Other interests/talents |
I love rowing surfboats in summer |
| Family |
My parents still live on the cattle property I grew up on in Biggenden, QLD. I have 3 older brothers and an older sister who have all played rugby at some stage. |
| Family links with Rugby |
My sister and I both attended Downlands College in Toowoomba which produce many Wallabies such as Brett Robinson, Tim Horan, and Garrick Morgan |
| Best Rugby player of all time |
I don't think you could pick a "best rugby player of all time"... I most admire Tim Horan for his comeback from a major knee reconstruction to play a key role in the World Cup... I greatly admire John Eels for being not only a great player in his day but also for his passion and the way he conducts himself as an ambassador of our game both then and continues to do now... I believe George Smith has probably had the most influence as a player on the modern game, in that his skills and ability to stay on his feet and play the ball has seen other teams rethink their approach to the game over recent years... |
