Rupert Henry St. John Barker Moon (born 1 February 1968)^[1] is a former international rugby union player. He was born in England, but played club rugby for Welsh clubs Abertillery and Neath; he is, however, most associated with Llanelli. He played international rugby for Wales, winning 24 caps.

Personal career[link]

Moon was born in Birmingham, England to Henry and Audrey Moon. Like his father, Moon was educated at Queen Mary's Grammar School, Walsall, as was his elder brother, Richard Harvey Quentin Barker Moon, who played international rugby for England at scrum half.

Moon subsequently became a radio and television presenter on BBC Wales, and then became Head of Group Commercial & Business Development for the Welsh Rugby Union and the Millennium Stadium, when the Group recorded record turnover and record profits. He also was one of three people who staged the Tsunami Relief Concert at the Millennium Stadium. He joined Protectagroup - Wales's Largest Insurance Broker - in 2007 (acquired by Cullum Capital Ventures) as Group Marketing Director during an aggressive UK acquisition period, with 36 brokers acquired during an 18 month period at value of £254 million. He then returned in June 2009 to his spiritual home of the Scarlets as Commercial Director.

Rugby career[link]

Moon played junior rugby for England Rugby Union at student, Under-19, Under-21, and `B` level, before qualifying for Wales by playing his club rugby for Abertillery RFC, Neath RFC, and Llanelli RFC. Moon went on to captain Llanelli, a team he played 272 games for over 12 years. Moon earned 24 caps for the Wales national rugby team, before retiring from international rugby in 2001.

Notes[link]

William John Heaton "Will" Greenwood, MBE (born 20 October 1972 in Blackburn, Lancashire) is an English former rugby union player of the 1990s and 2000s. He played in the centres, mainly at inside-centre, although he was able to play at outside-centre.

Early life[link]

Greenwood was educated at Sedbergh School where he was in the first team for Rugby and Cricket. He graduated with a BA in Economics from Hatfield College, Durham in 1994.

Career[link]

He played his club rugby for the Harlequins, having also played for Preston Grasshoppers, Waterloo and Leicester Tigers.

His father Dick Greenwood played at flanker for and later coached the England Rugby Union team. He left Harlequins and moved to Leicester Tigers in 1996 because the presence of England centre Will Carling meant he could not get first team rugby.

He was overlooked by the England coach Jack Rowell, but was selected for the 1997 British Lions tour to South Africa still uncapped, and ahead of then England captain Phil de Glanville. During the tour, he swallowed his tongue on the pitch after a collision and stopped breathing for several minutes, and did not play in any of the tests. This was one of the few games where Greenwood, contrary to his superstition, wore a number 12 jersey. He also toured with the Lions in 2001 but injury again prevented him from playing.

Subsequently picked by new England coach and ex-Tigers centre Clive Woodward he became an important part of that team, notably establishing a centre partnership with Jeremy Guscott. In 2000 he moved back from Tigers to 'Quins after succumbing to poor form, not helped by the arrival of Australian Pat Howard that prevented him from getting first team rugby. His match-winning try to defeat Brive, in the European Shield quarterfinal (27 January 2001), was voted the club's 2000/01 'Try of the Year'. He had already picked up an RFU Cup winner's medal with Tigers but this time tasted defeat in the final of the same competition with NEC Harlequins, at the hands of Newcastle Falcons in 2001.

He rebounded and was involved in all but one of England's games in the 2003 Rugby World Cup, scoring England's only try against South Africa, when he followed up to touch down after a Lewis Moody charge down. His try against Wales in the quarter-final in Brisbane turned the match for England in a tight game. He finished the tournament as joint top try scorer with five.

He was made vice captain under Lawrence Dallaglio for the 2004 Six Nations tournament. He reached the 50 cap landmark against Ireland and played in all of England's Six Nations matches. At the start of the 2004/5 season he stood on 30 tries. He won the last of 55 England caps against Australia in 2004.

In 2005 Greenwood was injured for the Six Nations, but was selected for the British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand, his third Lions tour. He replaced Brian O'Driscoll just two minutes into the first test against New Zealand and also played in the third test.

In 2006, after 55 England English rugby union caps and 31 tries he announced his retirement at the end of the 2005/6 season^[1] and he currently works as an analyst for Sky Sports and regularly appears on 'The Rugby Club' and live premiership matches. During the 2007 Rugby World Cup, Greenwood was employed by ITV as an analyst for live matches.

Heinrich Wilhelm Brüssow (born 21 July 1986 in Bloemfontein, South Africa) is a South African rugby union footballer. He plays for the Free State Cheetahs provincial team, Cheetahs in the international Super Rugby competition and the Springboks. His usual position is open-side flanker.

Career[link]

Heinrich Brüssow attended Grey College in Bloemfontein where he played in the First XV and was later selected for the Under-18 Free State Craven Week side. Brüssow was part of the Free State Cheetahs squad who shared the Currie Cup glory in 2006 with the Blue Bulls, before playing in the 2007 Currie Cup final against the Golden Lions, scoring a crucial try and helping the team to a 20-18 win. In 2008 he was voted best open-side flanker in the Super 14 and Currie Cup. This earned him a call-up to the Springboks squad for the November 2008 tour to the British Isles. He only played the final 4 minutes in the end-of-tour test against England.

In 2009, Brüssow was again a flanker in the Super 14 competition. However, selectors excluded him from the Springboks squad. Soon afterwards he played for the Free State Cheetahs against the British and Irish Lions team; Brüssow was finally called up for Schalk Burger, who failed to recover from an injury for the first test against the Lions.^[2][3] He received the Man-of-the-Match award in the Springboks' win against the All Blacks on the 25 July 2009.^[4] Brüssow once again featured in a Currie Cup final in 2009, but the Free State Cheetahs lost to a hungry Blue Bulls team.

Early March 2010 Brüssow's career took a blow when he injured his cruciate knee-ligament^[5] in a Super 14 game against the Hurricanes, which kept him from international rugby till August 2011.

He returned to international competition on the 13th of August 2011 against Australia where he played for a short stint from the bench where he showed he still has all the ability that made him so popular in 2009.^[6] On the 20th of August 2011 Heinrich Brüssow gave a Man-of-the-Match display of his skills as the Springboks managed to defeat arch-nemesis New Zealand All Blacks in Port Elizabeth.^[7]

Influential Games[link]

2009[link]

• 20 June 2009 : South Africa vs British and Irish Lions I: Heinrich Brüssow replaces injured Schalk Burger in the starting line-up. His ball-stealing and recovering skills proved too much for the Lions. When he was replaced in the second half, the Lions managed to fight back, but not enough to win the game. Scored a try from the back of a maul.
• 27 June 2009 : South Africa vs Lions II: Brüssow came on in the 62nd minute and effected a few crucial turn-overs helping seal the 28-25 victory for the South Africans.
• 25 July 2009 : South Africa vs All Blacks I: Although being targeted, Brüssow battled competently against Richie McCaw, who is widely considered the best open-side flanker in the world. He made a number of crucial turn-overs and tackles. He was named Man-of-the-Match in the 28-19.
• 1 August 2009 : South Africa vs All Blacks II: Continuing to build on his reputation, Brüssow again managed to compete with the All Black captain Richie McCaw at the breakdown. He once again made a number of crucial turnovers, tackles and powerful runs as the Boks won 31-19
• 8 August 2009 : South Africa vs Wallabies I: Brüssow was once again in outstanding form for the Springboks as his ruck work, brutal hits and ball-carrying led South Africa to victory over Australia. His opposite number George Smith, also considered one of the best in world rugby, could not cut it with Brüssow, and his frustration led to a yellow card.
• 13 November 2009 : South Africa vs France: It was a grey evening for the men in green, as they were out-muscled by France 20-13. Brüssow, though, stood up and kept the Springboks in the match with several vital turnovers and tackles. Even though it was a defeat, the match in Toulouse was considered Brüssow's best in a test jersey up to that point.

2011[link]

• 20 August 2011: After a lengthy injury lay off Heinrich Brüssow returned to the international stage in the Springboks final two Tri Nations matches of the 2011 season. After a short stint against Australia (13 August 2011), he played a full game against New Zealand All Blacks. With a first-off whitewash on the cards, Brüssow's fetching skills would be vital, in order for the Boks to gain some momentum before the (RWC World Cup 2011). Brüssow delivered a Man-of-the-Match winning performance. One that saw him make some fantastic and crucial turnovers, immense tackles and ball carries while going through an enormous amount of donkey work and taking a boot to the face for his efforts. Brüssow ended the game with a bloodied, pockmarked face and bandage, but most probably assured his place in Peter De Villiers' plans for rugby's greatest stage in New Zealand. (RWC World Cup 2011)
