Australia's sporting achievements have been helped by many outstanding Australian rugby players. Some of the greats include John Eales, Ben Sharpe and Ken Catchpole.
It's difficult to choose the best Australian rugby player of all time. While they may have different styles, they all share something in common. One is a legend and one is an underrated gem while the third is a young marvel. All of them are looking for a place as part of the Wallabies starting side-line for the next Test with Wales.
The Wallabies have had a long and illustrious history, but there have been times when they have been mediocre. However, the Wallabies are starting to change things in the last few decades. The Wallabies are currently playing a three-Test series with Wales. Dave Rennie, coach of the Wallabies is trying to decide the line-up for their final Test against Wales.
Wallabies are also in an injury crisis. Tim Horan as well as Michael Hooper were both injured during the Wallabies' most recent Test. The selectors continue to debate the merits and replacement of James O'Connor.
John Eales is the greatest Australian rugby star of all time. He was an exceptionally athletic lock forward, with a tremendous work rate, and terrorized opposition linesouts. He won two World Cups with his flawless timing and exceptional hands. Eales, the Wallabies captain, helped them win 1999 World Cup against France in a thrilling final.
Joe Roff is another great Australian player. He won the Tri-Nations trophy in 2000, was part of the side that won the Webb Ellis Trophy in 1999 and played in three Rugby World Cups.
There were many other greats of Australia's golden era. These include George Smith (Chris Latham), Stephan Larkham (Stephan Larkham), and George Smith (George Smith). Another is Will Genia. Genia, who was born in Papua New Guinea on 28 August 1988, was a schoolboy. Before moving to Australia, he represented the country at junior level. Since moving to Australia, Genia has become an elite domestic player, capped 110 times in his career.
Matt Toomua made a name for itself in the club sport, even though he is not a Wallabies fixture. He signed a contract to the Leicester Tigers and has been awarded several caps for Brumbies. Toomua was a key player in the 2013 Super Rugby match between the Brumbies and the Reds. This is a great example of how Toomua also shares key skills outside the pitch.
Many would consider Ken Catchpole Australia's greatest rugby player. However, he didn’t have a long and successful career. He was a scrum-half with an excellent set of hands and keen eyes for passing. He also had an impressive kick and blistering speed.
Another great Australian rugby player was John Eales, who is regarded as the best lineout operator of all time. He was also a prominent member of the Australian Schoolboys squad in 1978.
