About Tim Rodber

Timothy Andrew Keith Rodber is an English former rugby union footballer who played at number eight, flanker or lock for Northampton Saints, England, and the British Lions. An injury to Scott Quinnell, and then Eric Miller catching flu, led to Rodber starting the First test. He was part of the England team that won the 1993 Rugby World Cup Sevens. He was selected at No.8 for the first two Tests, both of which the Lions won to take the series 2–1. Rodber became one of the stand out performers during the tour.
