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.

I am a computer programmer by trade

I was born in one country, my brother in another, hence we have caps for different countries

We play for the same club team now tho, near a beautiful coast. Originally we played for different club teams in another country, both in the north of that country

Our father was an international basketball player

Can I ask for one more specific clue.. when you say won a European Cup final, do you mean the HEC?

If I meant the Heineken Cup I would have said the Heineken Cup It is either Heineken Cup or Amlin Cup/Challenge Chup/Parker Pen/Whatever they call it now.

Matt Stevens?

ok ignore that

Yeah, I thought that, which makes me think you don't mean the Heineken Cup! I am clueless about the Amlin honestly..

Is it Michael Lipman?

Rory I'll go a step further.

He played in and won a European Challenge Cup final.

So is it Michael Lipman then?

That Wasps prop? Payne?

It is definitely an english player anyway.

Lipman does fit the bill I think...

Yes it is Michael Lipman well done McKay

Both his 1st and last international matches were against All Blacks.
Played 6 Nations rugby.
Plays professionally for Melbourne Rebels
Played for Bath in Heineken Cup and Rebels in Super Rugby
Played in and won a European Cup final with Bath

Played internationally for my country of birth (born in London)
Played U21 rugby for another country (Australia where he was raised)
Never played for a French team.
Wears the Number 7 shirt.

hooray...ok let me think...that took some serious effort by the way so good one stag

I was surprised it took that long. I thought people would remember the Bath trio who got banned for 9 months.

I am a former international and won my first cap against Ireland
I was banned for professionalism although I never played league
After my ban I was selected in my countries union squad for two world cups but never played.
