Rugby Union Career
After captaining the Australian Schoolboys Rugby Union side on their 1986 tour of New Zealand, he made his Test debut for the Wallabies against Scotland in 1988. He earned five international rugby union Test caps between 1988 and 1989 as a flanker. He became prominent with some fearsome displays of running against the touring British Lions in 1989 and he is remembered for a magnificent try scored in that series, running through tacklers at will.

Famous quotes containing the words union and/or career:
“Some are petitioning the State to dissolve the Union, to disregard the requisitions of the President. Why do they not dissolve it themselves,—the union between themselves and the State,—and refuse to pay their quota into its treasury? Do not they stand in the same relation to the State that the State does to the Union? And have not the same reasons prevented the State from resisting the Union which have prevented them from resisting the State?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
