Bob EGERTON - Australia - International rugby caps for Australia.


If ever there was a shortlived career at the very highest level of the game that was timed to perfection it was that of Australia's Rob Egerton. Rob won only nine caps for the Wallabies, all in a 13 week spell in 1991, with his final appearance coming in the biggest game in the sport - the World Cup final. He helped Australia to a 12-6 victory that day against England at Twickenham, bringing to an end a short - but very sweet - international career. He is pictured above during the 38-3 win against Wales in the group stages of the tournament.
