Tiaan STRAUSS - Australia - Australian Caps 1999

All of Tiaan's 11 caps - 8 of which were as a replacement - for Australia came in a four

month spell between June and October 1999. Disappointingly for the big number 8,

his final cap came in the quarter-final victory against Wales at the 1999 World Cup,

meaning he missed out on the final against France which Australia won 35-12.


He is pictured above during the 23-3 win against Ireland at the 1999 Rugby World Cup.
