Most Famous Rugby Player?

[Not Kurt Weaver]

Who is the most famous person to have played rugby?

I have heard the Nelson Mandela played, but I have one that I just found out and want to see if anybody guesses it.

 

[Dickie E]

I infer you mean a famous person who has played rugby as opposed to a rugby player who is famous?

In this neck of the woods it is Edward 'Weary' Dunlop.
