Classic Wallabies Statesmen

Seven celebrated players who left indelible impressions on Australian Rugby are the 2011 ARU Classic Wallabies Statesmen.

One player from each decade since the Second World War accepted the invitation in 2011 to serve as a Classic Wallabies Statesman, making formal and informal appearances on behalf of the ARU and Qantas Wallabies during the season.

The 2012 Classic Wallabies Statesmen will be named prior the 2012 Test Season.
