Gareth Rees Biography

Gareth Rees is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on June 30, 1967 in Vancouver Island, Vancouver Island, Canada. Gareth Lloyd Rees (born 30 June 1967 in Duncan, British Columbia) is a former Canadian international rugby union footballer who played at fly- half and full back positions. Rees played for several British club sides, including Wasps and Harlequins. He won 55 caps for Canada, captaining them on 23 occasions and scoring 487 test points. In October 2011, Rees received arguably his greatest honour with induction to the IRB Hall of Fame.

He played club rugby with Castaways, Wasps, Mérignac, Newport, Oxford University, Harlequins, and the Barbarians. Whilst at Wasps he helped them win the Anglo-Welsh Cup in 1999, 13 years after his last appearance in the final, scoring two conversions and four penalties as they defeated Newcastle Falcons.

In the 1995 World Cup Rees together with James Dalton and Rod Snow were sent off for fighting in a Canada vs South Africa match that came to be known as the Battle of Boet Erasmus. All three players received a 30-day suspension. Rees did not regret coming to the aid of his team mates, and said after the incident, “We’re a very tight team. The guys love each other.”
