Who am I?

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.

Coaching is participating isn't it?! He rocked up, contributed and won a third gold!! Noone else has three rugby golds in thier cabinet!

Apologies if I was a bit sneaky though.

With you on that - achieved far more as a coach than as a player myself!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri May 04, 2012 2:53 pm

Can't find 43 caps - statbunker only shows World Cups, Tri nations and 6 nations, and Perugini is top "off the bench" on 24 - so it must be one of the minor nations?

by thebluesmancometh Fri May 04, 2012 2:54 pm

Well I achieved nothing but grief as a player, I'm hoping this coaching lark will prove more fruitfull...

So just the sub appearance fella left...

I have to admit your one I am stumped, Ive even been trying to google it. A 24 year old who played for Chiefs? whos father and uncle won grand slams...

by ChequeredJersey Fri May 04, 2012 2:55 pm

Ignore

by ChequeredJersey Fri May 04, 2012 3:02 pm

International stage- is that only full international caps? Or u20 etc? And I presume lions and Babaas count too?

by thebluesmancometh Fri May 04, 2012 3:05 pm

no no, it's a top tier nation. I was asked it at a pub quiz last week, didn't know myself then either.

by thebluesmancometh Fri May 04, 2012 3:07 pm

I presume it incorporates all int games, not sure about U20's though!

My guess was Peel, a few behind though.

His uncle was a Lions captain too

Guy Easterby? ROG?

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri May 04, 2012 3:20 pm

Ollie le Roux of South Africa

Great question

by thebluesmancometh Fri May 04, 2012 3:22 pm

le roux

SA looshead who basically had a career of splinter bum. 43 sub appearances in 55 tests, and 3 sub positions without entering the game!

by Pete C (Kiwireddevil) Fri May 04, 2012 3:51 pm

Speaking of pine riders,

I spent my entire international career on the bench, and never took the field. However my coaching career has been more successful.

by thebluesmancometh Fri May 04, 2012 3:53 pm

Why am I tempted to say Henry?!

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri May 04, 2012 3:56 pm

Gatland

I have to give up on yours... I am beat. Sad

by red_stag Fri May 04, 2012 4:04 pm

Asbo,

I am going to suggest English ladies interntional Amber Reed whose uncle played internationally and for the Lions. Not a clue if her dad did.

She is an Exeter uni girl so maybe played for chiefs.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Fri May 04, 2012 4:04 pm

Lewis Calder, currently captain of London Scottish

by Glas a du Fri May 04, 2012 4:46 pm

Name the Welsh player who looks like he played rugby for Wrexham, but never actually did.

by **rodders** Fri May 04, 2012 10:07 pm

Garth Thomas?

by Glas a du Fri May 04, 2012 10:17 pm

No. Think Swansea and Cardiff. Tall and short. Quiet and extrovert.

by **rodders** Fri May 04, 2012 10:23 pm

Arwel Thomas?

by Glas a du Fri May 04, 2012 10:26 pm

No. Right era. Think of the name part. How it would look on paper.

by **rodders** Fri May 04, 2012 10:42 pm

Scott Gibbs?

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Mon May 07, 2012 1:31 pm

I have 70-odd caps for my country and have captained the national side

I am a no.8 and played briefly alongside my brother in a T14 side

I wrote a book about my 2007 RWC experience and am a lawyer by profession

I was born in 1982

by thebluesmancometh Mon May 07, 2012 1:37 pm

First thing that pops into the head is Tuilagi, Henry?

by **rodders** Mon May 07, 2012 1:48 pm

Chabal?

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Mon May 07, 2012 2:23 pm

No to both

I may not play for a Tier 1 country

Vasco Uva, born in 1982 captained Portuagal in RWC07. A lawyer by trade he wrote a book about the experiences of the 2007 World Cup. He appeared briefly for Monpelier with his brother.

Only problem he has 77 caps.

(I should really get on with my work so I can go home)

by ChequeredJersey Mon May 07, 2012 3:51 pm

Vasco Uva

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Mon May 07, 2012 3:51 pm

And we have a winner = LT king

by ChequeredJersey Mon May 07, 2012 3:52 pm

Ah LT, you beat me to it you Sean O'Brien you!

I am so far behind on project work it isn't even funny

by **LondonTiger** Mon May 07, 2012 4:08 pm

I have been in a winning team against the All Blacks.
I represented my country 16 times.
My brother represented the same country 78 times.
We once represented our country on the same day over 5,000 miles apart.

by ChequeredJersey Mon May 07, 2012 4:22 pm

I bet the team isn't a country- Munster?

by **LondonTiger** Mon May 07, 2012 4:43 pm

correct not a country. Not Munster though.

by ChequeredJersey Mon May 07, 2012 4:51 pm

Barbarians seems most likely then

by **rodders** Mon May 07, 2012 4:56 pm

Tony Underwood?

by **LondonTiger** Mon May 07, 2012 5:05 pm

Not Barbarians.

I scored a try in that victory, the only defeat New Zealand suffered on that particular tour.

by **rodders** Mon May 07, 2012 5:15 pm

The 1993 Lions?

It has to be Hastings or Underwood...but they had more caps.... Headscratch

by **LondonTiger** Mon May 07, 2012 5:19 pm

All blacks were the touring side.

by Glas a du Mon May 07, 2012 7:14 pm

Cardiff 1953?

by Dim Mon May 07, 2012 7:27 pm

Or the North of England side that beat them in the late 70s? 79 perhaps?

by prop_lyd Mon May 07, 2012 7:35 pm

Is it from the Swansea side from the 30's?!
