ho capito...GiorgioXT ha scritto:Un altro che si è però formato con l'union e che ha giocato nelle nazionali giovanili fino all'Under 21...Alucard ha scritto:dopo Nathan Hines, Brad Thorn, Andy Farrell, Jason Robinson, Mark Gasnier, Shontayne Hape e Sonny Bill Williams ecco che me ne viene un'altro, il capitano attuale dell'Australia Rocky Elsom, anch'egli ex giocatore di league...
Elsom was educated at St. Joseph's Nudgee College in Brisbane where he was captain of their rugby union side; he went on to make the Australian Schoolboys side. He was a fast, agile forward for a young man of his size. He was nearly 100 kg when he finished in the Australian Schoolboys side. He then spent two seasons with the Canterbury Bulldogs rugby league club in Sydney and was a front-rower prop in their 2001 premiership-winning Jersey Flegg side.
He returned to rugby union in 2003, making his Super 14 debut against the Auckland Blues for the Waratahs. He was also the co-captain of the under-21 Australian national side at the 2003 under-21 World Cup.
cmq, rimane che NM nn si è inventato nulla con Gower ad apertura, come detto prima l'escusiva rimane dell'Inghilterra di Brian Ashton con Andy Farrell
