Enquire about John Eales for your next event |
Former Queensland and Australia lock John Eales will be remembered as one of the all-time great rugby players. His retirement from Rugby in September 2001 marked the end of an era for the Australian game. He was the second-most capped Wallaby ever, and also the most capped Wallaby Captain. John captained the Wallabies in memorable victories including the 1999 World Cup. He led Australia through four successive years of Bledisloe Cup wins and two successful seasons for Tri-Nations fixtures.
In a career that spanned 10 years, John played 86 Tests for Australia, captaining them on 55 occasions accumulating 173 test points. During this time he was regarded as the most outstanding forward in world rugby. John Eales will certainly go down in rugby history as a legend of the game and one of Australia’s greatest sports people.
