I followed in my father's footsteps to play international rugby and for the same club, occasionally in the same position.
We both took part in the same international tournament in the same year but did not play together.
I was for a time the youngest player to have played in a professional club match in my country.

Owen Farrell - England and Saracens.
Same tournament - 6N 2012. Owen as a player and Andy as a coach.
At 17 years and 11 days was the youngest professional in a match against Scarlets in October 2008.

Excellent Rodders
Michael Lynagh played for Australia. He captained them from 1993 to 1995 and won a World Cup in 1991.
He won a double with Saracens and kicked a drop goal in the dying minutes to secure the league title against Newcastle Falcons in 1998.
He recently returned to TV duty following a well publicised stroke.

I have played club rugby for 6 sides in 2 countries.
I was the most capped player in my position but have never played for the Lions.
I was not born in the country I played for.

I was a lawyer.
I wrote one of the world's greatest rugby books.
I designed the worlds greatest rugby uniform,
I founded the world's greatest rugby club.
Clue 1: I invented the world's greatest rugby position (until those cheating fox chasing $%&U^%'s outlawed it).
Clue 2: I was the first captain of the world's greatest team.

Close, unfortunately I passed away in 1904, as did my captain on the 1889 tour to Great Britain.

Tom Ellsion. I'm guessing it's probably a bit obscure.
Played in Warbricks NZ native team in 1889,
proposed the white fern on a black shirt
Led NZ in first test in 1893 against Australia (probably NSW)
Founded Poneke club in Wellington (His photo's plastered on the club wall)
Unfortunately he fell ill, was institutionalised in a lunatic asylum and died shortly afterwards. Joe Warbrick died the same year. He was killed showing tourists to the worlds largest recorded geyser (Waimangu which reached a height of over 1000 ft).

Nope....
I was overshadowed by my more celebrated positional partner for much of my international career.

Robbie Keane wouldn't know his home side if it hit him in the backside.
