- Current Referee grade:
- Level 2
All are excellent examples of 'non' World Cup Winners ..........
Perhaps our SH compatriots can find an example , criteria = RWC winner +11yrs on, playing at Level 11 or ( near) , until then MT gets the 'unique' badge.
Already did???
Ie
Owen Finegan, RWC 1999, was playing on and off in the lower 3/4th grade here up up until a few years ago (while coaching a 1st XV, and is still coaching).
Aust won RWC 1999, and Owen Finegan last played either 2010 or 2011. I don't know what our level 11 equivalent is, but our 3rd/ 4th grade tends to have the young 22-25 yo on the way up and the 40+ yo on the way out.
So I'd say MT is not so unique and doesn't seem to be even the first.
