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.

Wade Dooley?

sorry I haven't given much to go on there...

My brother played rugby league for Great Britain

not matt stevens or wade dooley although dooley is more the right era

Someone who wrote a book and was banned for that kind of 'professionalism'?

Was it Dean Richards? Banned for Bloodgate. He would have surely been in 2 RWC squads and would have been same era as Wade Dooley

Must be a Welshman?

Richards played in 1995.

nope on both counts.

One of the Quinnells? Scott played RL for GB.

Not Brian Ashton or Andy Robinson again is it?

I was thinking Robinson, who was Robinson's brother?

None of the above.

I played my final international match in a 63-6 loss to Australia

I am going to say Richie Collins. I know he played basketball professionally that could be the issue?

nope but getting closer

Actually scratch that. Mark Ring it has to be??

If it isn't Mark Ring then I dont know.

Who the flip is Mark Ring?

nope and rodders you should be ashamed not knowing who mark ring is

I only know him as he used to coach in a local rugby club in Limerick.

He was this real flair flashy Welsh dude. Played for Cardiff as a 10/12. I always got impression talking to people that he thought his armpits smelled like roses. One of those "didn't get as many caps as he should but is still amazing" kind of lads.

Basically his generations Henson.

Before my time stag......

yeah ok maybe not ashamed...

I played on the wing for my international side

Garin Jenkins

Arthur Jones

Hadley?

Steve Ford.

Steve Ford

B*gger, pipped by Staggy

You said he wasn't Welsh!

They're always Welsh, Glas.

Thats right you did! This one has to be declared null and void!

I won't hear a bad word said about Ringo

Doing alright as a coach nowadays. The move he came up with against Pirates in the semi final was awesome and he's just played a part in Crosskeys' first silverware and a cup for our local college. Ringo is a legend.

Sorry Rev but he was our speaker at last dinner and he was pretty me me me me me!!

Of course he was, the guy was a huge natural talent. Back heel drop goals from the touch line. You are not that precociously talented without having a bit of an ego. When my brother was playing for Cardiff Youth, Ring was in the clubhouse one night saw him looking a bit dishevelled. He sorted his collar out and said: "there we are, tell all the birds Mark Ring straightened your tie"

I never said he wasn't welsh. Where did I say that?

O sorry rodders I didn't even see that you'd written that. Apologies. I was saying no to both previous guesses. It just goes to show though, everyone else still guessed welshmen after that...

Yeah, but they're thick...err...

Brilliant. Might use that myself

Aye, but it only works in a Keardiff accent.

No probs mate, I wouldn't have got it anyways

Ha at least you're honest

I am a Bar, I'm like Steel, I'm TC's mate and Willy John carried me in South Africa.

Back in a mo.

Phil Bennett

Yes!

I was born in a coastal town and am an International and a Lion
I have played in three NH countries.
I gained infamy for a tackle that ultimately led to a try for one of my more famous colleagues

I should point out Rava that any NH international will have played in at least 6 NH countries #justsaying

You mean he has been contracted to teams in 3 NH countries?

Smart Oirse.

I have played in three NH countries. (Clarification: - Teams from those countries)

Oh and smart oirse!!

If I played for a Club in a NH Country, say France, and only played in Internationals at home. How many NH Countries would I have played in?

Scott Murray, Scotland international
