Born: February 8, 1947 – Auckland Test record: 2 Tests (1969) – 0 points
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.
