Dan Luger Biography

Dan Luger is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on January 11, 1975 in Chiswick, England, United Kingdom. Daniel Darko Luger MBE (born 11 January 1975) is an ex- English union player in the rugby game who was a part of the team which took home the 2003 Rugby World Cup.

Despite being plagued by injuries, his record on the international stage is remarkable with 24 tries in 38 games. Five other players scored more England scores. He began his international career scoring in his initial two international matches against Italy and the Netherlands as well as Italy during World Cup qualifiers in 1998.

During the 2001 British and Irish Lions tour to Australia, Luger scored a hat- trick of tries in the opening match against Western Australia. However, an injury ended his tour, when he fractured a cheekbone in a training accident.

He came on as an illegal substitute during the England-Samoa game at the 2003 Rugby World Cup, when the player he was intended to replace (Mike Tindall) hadn’t left the field before Luger came on. Luger even made a tackle before being ordered off the field again. This led to a dispute over whether England should be fined, or perhaps even docked points as a penalty for having sixteen players on the field for a short period of time. Ultimately England were fined £10,000. He was an integral part of the world champion winning side.

Luger made his debut for the international team in 1998. He displayed his potential during the autumn 1999 World Cup qualification games, one of which was against the Netherlands. Luger played in 1999’s Rugby World Cup, scoring an impressive score against Fiji.

Dan Luger played top flight rugby as a right or left wing with a variety of England Premiership clubs from 1994 until 2003. He started his career as a junior player at Richmond before moving up into the senior team prior to his 20th birthday. After that, he was able to play and Orrel and was first chosen as a member of the England national squad at the U-21 level. His speedy pace prevented Orrell being sent to the back of the pack during that time and he went into his first stint in Harlequins where he was successful and earned one of the very first complete England caps. Luger had a string of injuries but was Harlequins’ most prolific try scorer. He left the club after the 1998-99 and during the Rugby World Cup where England were defeated in the semi final against South Africa. He had the second highest number of metres during the tournament, behind Jonah Lomu.

His first appearance was with England A team against Argentina in Northampton on December 16, 1996. He participated earlier during the World Students Cup in South Africa as well as for England U21s.

In November 2000, Luger scored a famous last minute match-winning try in an England versus Australia match. Iain Balshaw kicked ahead and he touched down in the corner, with eight minutes of injury time played.
