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.

He played for multiple clubs

Third time lucky so. Joe Lydon.

Nope. Same age though

FFS - Andy Robinson

Finally got it!!

I have played both in Super Rugby and the Heineken Cup. I was selected for the Lions tour to South Africa despite not playing any international rugby that season. I served a long ban for serious foul play during an international match. I intentionally withdrew from the Rugby World Cup for personal reasons. I received lots of international rugby caps spread between in two front row positions.

Who am I?

John Smit?

No, an interesting way of thinking but I can confirm that he is actually eligable for the Lions. He wasn't picked for the Boks but rather picked for the Lions.

Another clue. He has over 50 international caps.

Does HEC constitute International?

You cheeky git, it wasn't the bRitish and Irish Lions at all! Kevin Yates

Nope it was too the British Lions. International means just that - 6 Nations RWC etc

Julian White?

No.

He played in two European Cup finals also. Thats a big clue.

Still Julian White? I'm pretty sure he fits the criteria...

Not English. Was bitten by an opponent during an international match. Played his last match in a RWC defeat against a southern hemisphere team.

Pedrie Wannenburg!!!??

Pardon me. Played his last INTERNATIONAL match in a RWC defeat . . . .

Blue - its not Pedrie.

He played his Super Rugby for the Reds.

Matt Stevens?

The Claw?

Yup

I captained my country and my club. I often played next to a far more famous colleague at both levels. My son followed in my tradition playing for my club and my country (at age group levels) in the same position. He in turn played next to the son of a further colleague of mine at both country and club level.

Please name:

A) Me
B) The more famous person who played next to me
C) My son
D) The player who played next to my son
E) The father of (D) who played with me and (B)



Phew - hope that makes sense.

John Beattie?

A, B, C, D, or E?

A

No

BTW next to means the next position along.

So a Prop is next to a hooker, second rows are next to each other etc.

Are we talking English players?

Is B Brian Moore?

Is cricket involved somewhere?

All rugby.

Yes English players.

Bill Beaumont?

No, but A & B would have played with Beaumont.

A. John Pullin
B. Fran Cotton
C. Jon Pullin
d. ?
e. ?

A & B are slightly younger than Pullin and Cotton. The hooker when they played was yet another club colleague.

A. Paul Dodge
B. Clive Woodward
C. Ollie Dodge

Struggling with the others a bit!

The hooker was most likely Peter Wheeler?

OK

D. Tom Youngs
E. Nick Youngs

Never heard of any of them.

I would have preferred a round of applause but I suppose a bit typical Glas a du sarcasm will have to do

Rodders you little monkey.

1000th player to represent my nation who I represented 45 times.

Came to Europe to get rich. At my second club in Europe, one of the top played player in the world for my position. I was reportedly the top paid player in the world at my first European club where my wages were paid in part by the team sponsor a bank that was the first bank in its country to suffer a bank run in 150 years presumably because of this guys crazy wages.

Carl Hayman

Yep. Too easy.

I have a road named after me at the foot of the Black Mountains and a statue in St David's.
