Strapping Ellerslie centre Brian Clark featured in both Tests of New Zealand’s 1969 home series against Australia.

The 22-year-old, a New Zealand Under-23s rep, played for North Island Colts in the tour opener in Rotorua before earning the call-up as a reserve back for the Test series opener in Auckland three days later.

Clark replaced centre Sam Rolleston at halftime of the 20-10 loss and was retained as a starter for the second encounter with Australia a week later, a wonderful 18-14 win for the Kiwis.

Though further international honours were not forthcoming, Clark continued to play for Ellerslie until 1973.
