Rocky Elsom was a fearsome competitor on the rugby pitch, capable of winning matches almost single-handedly with his dominance in attack and defence.
Ireland and Leinster great Brian O’Driscoll called the Australian “the best player I have ever played with”.
But last month Elsom was handed a five-year sentence having being found guilty of forgery and embezzlement by a French court, in absentia. He had been living in Dublin, coaching rugby at a private school but now his whereabouts is unknown and there’s an international arrest warrant out for him.
But that hasn’t stopped him using media interviews to make his case and attempt to clear his name.
