Australia's most successful rugby captain.

Love what you do not what you did.

Profile

John Eales AM is regarded as one of the greatest rugby players

Australia has ever produced. His outstanding qualities extend much

further than his exceptional skill on the football field. He is an

inspirational leader and businessman through both his actions and

his relentless determination.

He debuted for the Wallabies in 1991 and captained the side from

1996 until the end of his test career in 2001. He participated in two

successful World Cup campaigns, captaining the latter in 1999, and led Australia through three Bledisloe Cup, two Tri- Nations and a British and Irish Lions series victory. In 20 tests against the All Blacks he was on the winning side 11 times, and also won 6 of his 11 tests against them as captain.

He was inducted into the Sports Australia Hall of Fame, the World Rugby Hall of Fame, the Australia Institute of Sport's Best of the

Best, awarded the Australian Sports Medal in 2000 and made a

Member of the Order of Australia (AM) in 1999 for services to the

community and rugby.

John was the founder of the Mettle Group – a consultancy which

was acquired by Chandler Macleod in 2007, and sits on the boards

of Flight Centre Travel Group, Fuji Xerox-DMS, Magellan Financial

Group. He has been an occasional lecturer at the University of Notre

Dame in Sydney and is the author of “Learning from Legends – Sport”

and “Learning from Legends – Business”.
