Luke Watson Biography

Luke Watson is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on October 26, 1983 in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Luke Asher Watson (born 26 October 1983 in Port Elizabeth) is a South African former rugby union footballer who can play at flank or eighthman. He has represented and captained the South African Schools rugby team (2001), South Africa’s under-19 (2002) and under-21 (2004) teams, as well as the Springbok Sevens team (2001). Watson has also captained both the Western Province and the Super Rugby Stormers. He most recently played for the Eastern Province Kings.

Watson’s comments raised concerns that he could be charged by SARU for “bringing the game into disrepute”, a broadly defined transgression that can be used to sanction players and officials who make negative public statements. For example, in 2000 then-national coach Nick Mallett was charged for publicly criticising SARU for “greed” in inflating Test match ticket prices. White himself had been threatened with sanctions for breaching this regulation.

During round one of the Currie Cup Watson was included in the Elephants’ first match against the Pumas on 20 July after impressing coach Allister Coetzee with his speed and work rate in the warm-up game against Boland. Watson played alongside experienced players like Paul Treu, who had already represented the Emerging Springboks, and Barry Pinnock, who had played more than 150 times for Eastern Province. Despite having won seven consecutive games prior to the 2002 season, the Elephants lost all but one of their 6 first-round games. In one of these, against the SWD Eagles on 24 August, Watson was “involved in too many incidents off the ball to be of much value to his team”.
