Micky Dore

Dore was selected as scrum-half for the Australia national rugby union team against New Zealand, at Dunedin, on 2 September 1905.

Dore's decision to switch codes in 1907 influenced many other Queensland union players including his brother, to join the Rugby League ranks.

He was a member of the inaugural committee of the Queensland Rugby Football Association and was a foundation Australian selector.

Along with two other of the five inaugural selectors (Arthur Hennessy & Lutge) Dore picked himself in 1908 for the first two rugby league internationals against New Zealand.

[4] Dore was unable to get leave of absence from his job to attend the 1908–09 Kangaroo tour of England and made his 3rd and final rugby league Test appearance against New Zealand in Sydney in 1909.
