Nicknames of Australian Rugby players

[Braveheart81]

Best nickname i've seen is a guy in Orange that goes by the nickname of Clock; he only has one hand.

I play cricket against an English guy whose nickname is Mastercard. His teammates gave him that nickname after his Visa was cancelled and he had to leave the country (he's now back).

The number on the back of his cricket shirt is 457.

James O'Connor - "Homebrand"

I may be wrong but a little birdie told me some years ago that Radike Samo's nickname was ' The burnt palm tree'

That was a line George Gregan used about him he said "Radike was standing there looking like a burnt palm tree" of course because of his crazy hair at the time... very funny line, Radike is one of my all time fav Aus players...

After retiring Mark Ella got Mini Bus - Half a coach.

 

[Brumby Runner]

Don't know why this thread suddenly appeared as having a current post, which it apparently doesn't, but there could be some good updates if anyone has the time and is willing to take the trouble.

Eg, Rathbone (when playing in conjunction with Pocock) was Boner while Poey was hard cock.

Allan Ala'alatoa - AAA or 7As (Allan Ala'alatoa).

Please refer to Hoss for any number of additions.

Nick Cummins.THE HONEY BADGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He Don't Care

Still dislike that nicname, he gave it to himself!! You can't give yourself a nicname FFS! It makes you appear a tosser, and your team mates that go along not a lot better. And there was already a player with that nic, given by his mates

Eric Rush always reckons he called Christian Cullen beer bottle, empty from neck up! Mind you I heard him say he called Glen Osborne that too, so maybe was just part of his 'show' when he spoke.
