Simon Geoghegan

[1] Another key contribution during the match was a kick, chase and tackle[2] on England fly-half Rob Andrew which led to a crucial kickable penalty to Ireland.

[citation needed] Geoghegan was controversially left out of the 1993 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand when England's Ian Hunter and Tony Underwood were taken ahead of him.

Former New Zealand hooker and Geoghegan's then London Irish coach Hika Reid was quoted at the time as being surprised as he felt the conditions would have suited him.

In 1997 the Lions management apparently held a place open for him until the last possible minute,[citation needed] even though he had played little rugby that year due to the toe problems that cut short his career.

He is currently a real estate and finance partner in London at Rosling King LLP Geoghegan qualified for Ireland through his Galway born father.
