Mark Andrews played for Newcastle in 2003/4 and Matt Burke was playing for them at that time. "The Premiership is awash with South Africans: Thinus Delport, Jake Boer, Ryan Strudwick, Warren Britz, Braam van Straaten, Andre Vos, Marius Hurter, Glenn Gelderbloom, Charl Marais, Naka Drotske and Brendan Venter are playing in England; Percy Montgomery, Adrian Garvey and Pieter Muller are with Welsh clubs and the prop Robbie Kempson is in Ulster."

Bill Calcraft, who was part of the 1984 Grand Slam Wallaby squad, later played and coached (?) at London Welsh in the mid/late 80's.
Also, I think that Alistair Murdoch, who has already been claimed by Bedford, also had a spell at LW.

The original question mentioned international players, not necessarily internation rugby union players. Mackay got a cap for Australia at RL (and it seems Scotland RL too!), so let's put him in the list.

Correct on both counts. Calcraft was part of the coaching team alongside John Dawes from around 91-93 (he gets a namecheck in the From the Archive feature in tomorrow's programme), and Murdoch played one pre-season friendly at the very end of his career but never appeared in a competitive fixture. |
