Real Player Profile: George Smith

This Rugby warrior is a rare talent, both on and off the field. At the young age of 26, George has already played an incredible 83 test for his Country and is regarded by his peers as one of the greatest ever backrowers. He is looking like the only player capable of coming close to George Gregan's test cap record. Pryor to a momentary lapse in concentration, where he shaved his dreadlocks off, George was one of the most rcognisable figures in world rugby. Now he often get mistaken of Reds centre Lloyd Johannson.

He claims to be half Tongan, although after chopping the famous Dred locks looks more Asian than Jackie Chan.He is fluent in 4 languages, English, Tongan, and Pigeon with his language of choice being Tonglish.

He has a lovely wife and two beautiful children, with his son a proud Ginger Kid.In his spare time George likes colouring in his children’s books and as a child was disqualified from a Connect 4 competition for continually miscounting & shouting “connect4 with only 3 colours in a row”.
