Tony Buckley Biography

Tony Buckley is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on September 18, 1980 in Cork, County Cork, Ireland.

Buckley joined Munster from Connacht in 2005 but his first two years were interrupted with injury. Following initial reports, it was thought that he would move to Bath on a one-year contract at the end of the 2007 season. However, it was later announced that he would remain at Munster until 2009, after agreeing to a two-year contract extension. The 2007–08 season provided Buckley with increased game time, starting four of the first six matches in the Celtic League, followed by making his Heineken Cup debut against the London Wasps. It was during this match that Buckley came on for the injured John Hayes and within minutes had put Simon Shaw to ground with a hand-off on his own line. After another disappointing season in which he lost his place in the Irish squad to Mike Ross and Munster failed to qualify for the Heineken Cup quarter-finals for the first time in over a decade, Buckley decided to join Sale Sharks for the 2011/12 season.

In April 2007, Buckley was named in the Irish squad for a tour of Argentina. He was listed among the replacements in the matchday XXII for the first test in Santa Fé on 26 May, during which he gained his first of two caps on the tour. Later that year he was added to the 2007 Rugby World Cup squad as an injury replacement for Simon Best, but did not feature during the tournament following Ireland’s exit at the group stages. Buckley’s competitive debut came in the 2008 Six Nations Championship, when he was introduced for last 10 minutes of Ireland’s opening fixture against Italy on 2 February 2008. He scored his first international try a year later against Canada on 24 May 2009, during the summer tour of North America. He also scored again for Ireland A against Georgia in the Churchill Cup, on 14 June 2009. Buckley was seen as the long term successor to John Hayes for club and country. Mike Ross was given the chance to start for Ireland in the 2011 Six Nations and Tony was left out of the squad. He instead played for Ireland Wolfhounds. He was selected in Ireland’s 43-man training squad for the 2011 World Cup, and won a place in the final 30-man squad to go to New Zealand. On 25 September 2011, Tony scored his first World Cup try against Russia. The 6 ft 5ins tighthead won 25 caps for Ireland over the course of his career.
