First topic message reminder :
I Captained SA at schools and sevens levels.
I played for Western Province where my team mates included, among others, Tiaan Strauss, Corne Krige and Bobby Skinstad.
I also captained Ireland in rugby union.
I have also played for Ulster and Munster.

Good call. Not sure if he has played for Stade, but Dr Phil joined them in the summer.

Roncero is at Stade isn't he? Didn't realise Dr Phil joined them though. He seems to be injured a lot in his post Leinster days, and then with Jonny being the almighty at Toulon he was rotated a lot!

OK
I'll give you a few simpler ones followed by a real head scratcher...
1. I am huge points scorer of 345 in just 55 starts for my country, and not 1 from the boot.
2. I hold the record for most substitute appearances on the int stage.
3. I am the most succesfull rugby union participant in olympic history.
4. I played, referee'd and was an avid promoter of the sport of rugby union... oh and I was also the founder of the modern olymip movement.

Charles Doe is a great call and equals this guys record of 2 gold medals, but the guy I'm talking about is slightly more succesfull.

Little clue...
Most sub appearances on int stage = 43.
Most successfull olymipic RU participant = 3 golds!

Dan Carroll for his 'coaching' gold surely doesn't count?

Carroll did - first medal for Australia, then as player-coach for US, but last gold medal was just as coach, I thinkChequeredJersey wrote:Anybody sneakily change nationality?
