- Australian great David Campese was part of the 1991 Wallabies Rugby World Cup team.
- He was the first Australian to play in 100 rugby Test matches.
- The former winger is famous for his ‘goose step’.
In the lead-up to the 10th instalment of the Rugby World Cup, to be held in France, News24 spoke to David Campese to get his views on the current state of the game, his previous World Cup journey, and who he thought would take the coveted trophy on Saturday, 28 October.
Campese grew up in the small country town of Queanbeyan in New South Wales, Australia.
He subsequently became an Australian legend and one of the greatest rugby players ever.
Campese is known for his no-look pass, elusive running lines and, most of all, his mesmerising ‘goose step’, which players have replicated through the generations.
The winger was inducted into the Rugby Hall of Fame in 1997, alongside Rugby World Cup teammates Nick Farr-Jones and Michael Lynagh.
