Nick Farr-Jones

Articulate and intelligent, Nick Farr-Jones is a natural born leader whose ability to motivate and inspire was clearly demonstrated as captain of the Wallabies during the period 1988-1992.

As captain of the team which brought home the Rugby Union World Cup in 1991, the 1992 Bledisloe Cup and which convincingly defeated the Springboks in August 1992, Nick was Australia’s most capped scrum half (until George Gregan) and it’s most capped captain (until John Eales).

His early career path took him from Newington College to Sydney University, where he studied Law from 1980 - 1985 and then to the Sydney city law firm of Garland Hawthorn Brahe.

Nick was first selected for both New South Wales and Australia in 1984, and captained 36 consecutive Tests for the Australian team from 1988 to 1992, as well as captaining the World XV to play New Zealand in 1992 for the NZ Rugby Union Centenary Celebrations.

Other teams for which Nick has played include Southern Hemisphere vs British Lions, IRB Centenary celebrations (1986), Australian 7-a-side team to Hong Kong (1987), Bahrain Warblers 7-a-side to Monaco (1988), Barbarians vs New Zealand (1989) and Barbarians Centenary celebrations vs England and Wales (Captain 1990). He also played Rugby for the University of Sydney from 1980 until 1994. Nick retired from professional playing in 1993. Shortly after retirement Nick and his family relocated to Paris for two years where Nick worked in the banking industry with SG.
