Gavin Henson

by red_stag Wed 30 May - 13:22

Is it Gavin Henson?

by red_stag Wed 30 May - 13:22

Ah pipped by London Tiger.

by Rava Wed 30 May - 13:33

No!

As a clue! There would have been a good few who applauded the tackle because of who was tackled.

You sure it wasn't Henson. He did tackle an Englishman!

by **LondonTiger** Wed 30 May - 13:52

Tait was yet to start shaving - surely an Englishboy?

by red_stag Wed 30 May - 13:58

Sorry Tiger - I keep forgetting that players outside Ireland are allowed to play internationally before the age of 25.

by Rava Wed 30 May - 14:02

The tackled player was English. The game it happened in was a club game. No further forward there then Very Happy

by mckay1402 Wed 30 May - 14:16

Is it Jason White?

by Rava Wed 30 May - 15:12

Sorry, I had to work there Whistle

No it isn't Jason White.

by red_stag Wed 30 May - 15:23

Chris Patterson!!!

His tackle on Ben Foden.

by Rava Wed 30 May - 15:32

Sorry Stag, nope.

by Rava Wed 30 May - 15:34

Don't forget the other clues. He has played club rugby in three NH countries.

by red_stag Wed 30 May - 15:34

Yea I dont know why I guessed him. I know he only played in England and Scotland.

What about Nathan Hines?

by Rava Wed 30 May - 15:44

That's a good guess but not right.

Another Clue - The last club he played for finished last in their league this season.

by **rodders** Wed 30 May - 15:46

Ah feic yer man! That centre! .... steam

by red_stag Wed 30 May - 15:47

Rava one I've been mulling over is Peter Stringer but I dont think he has played in 3 countries.

by **rodders** Wed 30 May - 15:48

Shoite!!!

by **rodders** Wed 30 May - 15:49

Yer man! He was useless too!!!!

by Rava Wed 30 May - 15:49

Give that man a cigar.

I was born in a coastal town and am an International and a Lion - Born Dover, Played for Ireland and B&I Lions
I have played in three NH countries. - England, Ireland & France
I gained infamy for a tackle that ultimately led to a try for one of my more famous colleagues - Famously "Hendoed" Austin Healey who was injured and couldn't stop O'Gara scoring.

Last Club was Esher RFC who were last in this years Championship.

by AsLongAsBut100ofUs Wed 30 May - 16:01

Nice work, Rav and Glas

by red_stag Wed 30 May - 16:01

Rava well done thats a great question. The Austin Healey tackle I forgot all about that.

Glas a Du even more well done.

by Glas a du Wed 30 May - 16:01

I held the try scoring record for most tries in a season my club. I witnessed a major tragedy and years later took my own life.

by red_stag Wed 30 May - 16:06

Glas is it that poor lad from the Sale Sharks - Kudley (spelling??). Very sad to hear. I dont know of any others.

by Glas a du Wed 30 May - 16:09

No Stag. It was a train crash he witnessed. Actually, scrap this one, it's far too morbid.

Doh

Somebody else put one up.

by red_stag Wed 30 May - 16:16

Thats what I was thinking Glas. A bit morbid.

Here is one.

- I switched between League and Union before switching back to Rugby League again
- I played over 40 times for my country in Rugby Union
- I was a utility back covering flyhalf, wing, centre and fullback
- I hold my countries record for most points in a Rugby Union international match with 42 points
- I do a lot of work raising awareness of depression

by **rodders** Wed 30 May - 16:16

Ha ha you won't believe it! I wasn't even thinking of Henderson! Laugh

thought it was yer man, the ex Newcastle and England centre! Doh

The only Australian Super rugby side I haven't played for is the Rebels

I have 5 caps for my country

I was once benched by my club for failing their alcohol breath test

Aye I did think it would be easy for you once I put in about the wife's father.

Well done anyhow Ale

Your turn.

by Glas a du Sat 2 Jun - 15:52

I've beaten Australia with my club and was a regular in a record beating national team, but although I also have the record for caps for my position for my country I have never played in a Lions test.
