Born and raised in Sydney, Chris was the back-up to Waratahs skipper Chris Whitaker during 2005. A gifted scrumhalf, he has represented Australia at Sevens level, and was previously a state junior swimmer for NSW.
Chris played in all 13 games during the 2006 Super 14 season, one of only five EWF players to do so. A crisp ball distributor, the former Australian Sevens representative had played eight times for the Waratahs before joining the EWF. A post-season shoulder reconstruction ruled Chris out of the APC squad.
Chris is currently undertaking an MBA (Executive) Program at the Australian Graduate School of Management, and has recently taken up jujitsu.
