About Ross Brown (rugby union)
Ross Handley Brown was a New Zealand rugby union footballer. He played 16 test matches, most frequently in the first-five back position, for New Zealand's national rugby team, the All Blacks, from 1955 until 1962. Brown's career which embraced 207 first class games, and well in excess of 100 for Taranaki, came in two distinct stages. This undoubtedly stemmed from the leading role he had as the captain and first five in the Taranaki side which held the Ranfurly Shield between 1963–65.
