Question about who these Rugby players are

[Gavauma]

Hi,

So I've recently gotten into Rugby, and by recent I mean I saw my first Rugby match last night (Tri-Nations New Zealand vs South Africa). I've been researching the history of Rugby a bit and I looked into EA Sport's Rugby series and I was wondering if you could help me identify these athletes out of curiosity.

Only the bottom two pictures work, but the bottom two pictures:
The guys in the Ireland shirts (green) from left to right are: Donnacha O'Callaghan, Brian O'Driscoll and Ronan O'Gara
In the bottom picture: Gavin Henson (Wales), Mark Cueto (England), Dan Carter (New Zealand)
With the exception of Gavin Henson all of those players still play

Welcome to the forum, as well!

I donk think thats Donncaha on the left of the Irish one but I can't, for the life of me, think who it might be.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Looking at it, you're right
Here's a bigger picture, no idea who it is:

Edit: Maybe Shane Horgan?

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

Girvan Dempsey?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Too much hair
I think it's Shane Horgan (though i'm not 100%)

King D'arcy would be sooo ****** at you guys.

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

Oh bugger!

In my defence I didn't recognise him without his crown on. (hopefully that should prevent the wrath)

 

[Feicarsinn]

Yes that was back in his manly Lionesque phase. Look at that mighty mane!

The first picture is Martin Johnson, former England and Lions captain, world cup winner in 03' and current England head coach.

I can't see the rest, apart from the ones the lads mentioned.

That's Darcy?! He's changed!

 

[Gavauma]

Really? All them seem to work for me.

Hmm...here it goes...

Tried from different sources.

The games are Rugby 2001, Rugby 2004, Rugby 2005

 

[Feicarsinn]

That's Darcy?! He's changed!

Yeah, he used to be an international class centre.

Martin Johnson:

Laurence Dallaglio:

George Gregan:

Johnny Wilkinson

George Smith:

Joe Rokocoko

Jason Robinson, Serge Betsen, Gordon D'arcy?

Not 100% that's D'arcy, but i just realised it's not O'Driscoll, and his face looks familiar

 

[Feicarsinn]

It's Joe Rokocoko, no?

From top to bottom:

1. Martin Johnson
2. Lawrence D'lalgllglgioglg
3. George Gregan
4. Jonny Wilkinson
5. George Smith
6. Joe Rokocoko

I can only recognise Jason Robinson from the bottom one.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

It's Joe Rokocoko, no?

That it is! Thought i recognised him, just couldn't put name to face

 

[Feicarsinn]

Serge Betsen and Gordon D'arcy (again) I believe.
