Stephen Larkham was a rugby freak. He didn't fit the traditional mold of what an international should look or play like. He brought something new and different to the Wallaby team in 1998 when Rod McQueen famously switched him from fullback to flyhalf. It transformed the way the Wallabies played and they became renowned for their "phase play" which brought them lots of success. Larkham was the key to that whole game plan.
He could also pull a rabbit out of a hat and create and score tries from situations where it shouldn't have happened. He played 102 tests for Australia and will be remembered as one of the greatest fly halves to ever play the game.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!
