England fly-half whose outstanding goal-kicking, intelligent game management and consistent performances across a decade helped establish England as a major rugby force in the amateur and early professional eras.
Rob Andrew was England's long-serving fly-half of the late 1980s and 1990s, a reliable kicker and intelligent game manager who played in three Rugby World Cups. His famous drop goal against Australia in the 1995 World Cup quarter-final remains one of English rugby's most celebrated moments. Known more for composure than flair, Andrew's consistency and reliability made him a trusted cornerstone of England's backline.
