England winger and the most prolific try-scorer in English rugby history at the time of his retirement, a devastating finisher who translated blistering pace into a phenomenal international try-scoring record.

Rory Underwood was England's greatest winger of the amateur era, a record-breaking try scorer whose pace and finishing ability produced 49 international tries — a record that stood for years. An RAF pilot whose competitive career included multiple World Cups, Underwood's pace and reliable finishing made him one of England's most dangerous attacking threats throughout the late 1980s and 1990s.
