Campo - A David Campese Tribute
He played to entertain and to enjoy himself. Since his two try debut against the All Blacks in 1982, Campese has represented his country at fullback and on the wing, winning everything from Bledisloe Cups to Grand Slam tours to the 1991 Rugby World Cup.
His willingness to take chances and make mistakes resulted in more than a handful of memorable moments, particularly for the Barbarians in 1984 and in the 1991 World Cup Semi Final against New Zealand.
Having eventually moved on from playing rugby, Campo took to coaching (The Sharks in Durban, South Africa) as well as running his own sports store in a Sydney suburb.
It isn't often the rugby world witnesses a player as expressive as Campese and to acknowledge this, Rugbydump salutes him with this tribute. Thanks for the memories.

Thanks Rugbydump.
I don´t know why everybody rates Jona Lomu so highly. He had size and speed, but no skills. Yes he was arguably the first rugby superstar, but it was for the wrong reasons. People saw a giant running over some players and some teams. He couldn´t defend at all.
Dont get me wrong I´m not anti Lomu or anti Kiwi he seems like a great guy but would you pick him over someone like Jeff Wilson or Joe Roff that could help out the fullback?
Sorry for posting this here but so many mention Lomu I had to ask
