John Eales

John Eales AM is an Australian former rugby union player and the most successful captain in the history of Australian rugby.

Eales' 55-cap reign as captain marked an era of Australian success in world rugby. Eales played a major part in Australia’s victories at the Rugby World Cup twice in his illustrious career, first in 1991, and later skippering his country to victory in 1999.

John Eales scored 173 points for Australia - 2 tries, 34 penalties & 31 conversions - a total which places him 8th on the all-time scoring list for Australia. He is the highest scoring forward in test rugby history and only one of three forwards to have surpassed 100 points in test rugby. His memorable kicks include a sideline penalty goal in the final minutes of a 2000 test to win the Bledisloe Cup against New Zealand.

He retired as the most-capped lock of all time, with 84 test appearances in that position.

Eales was a founder of the Mettle Group (a culture and leadership consultancy), and his personal company the JohnEales5 (now part of International Quarterback, a sports marketing and events company). He is also a director of QM Technologies, a director of SAHOF and a Financial Review columnist. He has acted as a consultant for BT Financial Group and Qantas. John is also an Ambassador of the Australian Indigenous Education Foundation
