Mr (Anthony) Tony Shaw AM

Tony Shaw was known as a hard and uncompromising forward who led the Wallabies on 15 occasions, including the famous 1980 Bledisloe Cup series win that saw the Australians retain the trans-Tasman silverware for a second straight year.

Shaw enjoyed a remarkable career in rugby. In 1973 he put on a powerful display for Queensland against Tonga and played himself into the Wallabies squad for a nine-match tour of England, Wales and Italy.

On July 10, 1982, at the Sydney Cricket Ground Shaw played his final Test for the Wallabies against Scotland and while there were appearances for his state against the All Blacks and Argentina the curtain was drawn on a remarkable Test career. He captained the Wallabies in 15 Tests, and Australia in 23 other matches.
