Michael Lynagh
One of the greatest rugby union players of all time, Michael Lynagh is a former Australian international who played 72 times for his country. Capable at playing both inside centre and fly-half, Michael scored a staggering 911 points in his career a world record when he retired from the sport. These days, Michael can be found touring the country working as one of the very best rugby speakers around. His natural charisma, storytelling ability and down to earth personality make him a hit at every event he attends.
Michael made his debut for Queensland in 1982 and was soon called up for the national team. Making his international debut aged 20 against Fiji, in 1984 he was part of the Australia team that won the Grand Slam and was also influential during the 1991 World Cup win. In his capacity as a rugby speaker, Michael can share fascinating anecdotes with audiences from his time representing his country at the highest level.
In the 1990s, he also spent time in Italian with Benetton Treviso, winning the Italian Championship in 1992, and in England signing for Saracens in 1998. He’s best known for his time at the club for his stunning drop-goal against Newcastle and his exceptional performance against Tetley’s Bitter Cup win against Wasps.
He retired from international rugby after the 1995 Rugby World Cup, before hanging up his boots for good in 1998. Since retiring, Michael has worked as a pundit and commentator for Sky Sports in the UK offering his expert insight and opinion on the latest events within professional rugby. As one of the most discerning rugby after dinner speakers available, he’s able to compare and contrast rugby today with what it was like in his day while also answering questions on topical issues in the sport.
Over the course of his career, Michael has been bestowed with a number of accolades including being inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame and receiving the prestigious Australian Sports Medal. Furthermore, he was inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame in 2001.
