Clue: my first name is Tony

Tony Russell.
Balmain scoundrel...

The same bloke who kicked St George legend George Carstairs in the face at Earl Park,triggering a real life riot with fence palings being the preferred weapon.

Russell and Cartsairs were both carted off to hospital but continued the fight in the back of the ambulance.

ahh... those were the days.

Tony Russell is correct.

Who Am I?

I played RU for Eastwood.
I played 15 Tests for the Wallabies.
I switched to Rugby League in 1988 and was subsequently barred from from playing RU ever again by the International Rugby Board.
Injury and frustrating form limited my chances and I only managed 5 games in Rugby League over three seasons.
Despite the IRB ban, I was given clearance to play RU again by the NSWRU.
