Name Dropping #40: Rugby Union Players

Each hint is the first name of one of the top 25 rugby players of the professional era, as ranked by RUCK.co.uk. Match it to their surname by selecting from among the choices given. The Additional Hint displays (1) the positions played during the subject’s rugby union career; (2) the team with which the subject made the most appearances during his international career; and (3) the years played for that team. You can use the Additional Hint to distinguish between players with the same given name or similar given names, or just to jog your memory.
