Former Wallaby and Tiger Brian Smith dies, age 59
The Wallabies have paid tribute to former Australian rugby and Balmain Tigers star Brian Smith, who has passed away at the age of 59.
Smith, who played Test rugby for both Australia and Ireland before switching to play rugby league in 1991 for Balmain and Easts, died after a battle with cancer.
Smith moved into coaching after his playing career and spent time at leading clubs around the world, but over the last decade, he was a rugby coach and head of sport at Scots College in Sydney’s east.
Scots principal Dr Ian Lambert told the school community Smith “had been very unwell in recent months and battling an aggressive cancer”, according to a report in News Corp publications.
