Rugby career
Guscott was given a call-up to Australia's in-progress British and Irish Lions tour, marking his debut in Bucharest in May 1989. In 1993, he traveled to New Zealand with the Lions, playing in all three Tests; in this case, the Lions lost 2 matches to 1.
Phil de Glanville was appointed as England captain in 1996 when Will Carling resigned as England captain. Carling was relocated from inside to outside center, guaranteeing a spot in the team, and Guscott was promoted to the bench as de Glanville was subsequently promised a seat in the team. Guscott demonstrated such promise and form in his autobiography that it was an extraordinary call for then England coach Jack Rowell to make. Guscott came off the bench to play on the wing against Ireland and Wales in 1996, and in each case, the squad was boosted by their enthusiasm and playing centrally in their victories.
Guscott traveled to South Africa with the 1997 British and Irish Lions, where he scored the winning drop goal in the decisive second test after Wales' Neil Jenkins kept the Lions in the game. He started the third and final test of this series but had to cancel because of his arm injury and was unable to finish the game.
In a 1999 Rugby World Cup pool match against Tonga, he lost in England colours and received a standing ovation at the game's conclusion. Guscott had to put an end to his work and pull out early from 1999 World Cup qualifying, due to an increasing debilitating thigh injury. In the quarter finals, England will continue to lose to South Africa without him. In all, Guscott appeared in three World Cups, 1991, 1995, and 1999, assisting England in the 1991 World Cup, helping the team reach a Final appearance. He missed the majority of the 1994 International Season due to injuries, and his form was patched for a long time after returning, particularly during the 1995 World Cup, where many believed de Glanville deserved a spot in the starting lineup over Guscott.
Guscott played for Bath from 1984 to 2000, scoring 710 points in 266 games. In the triumphant 1998 Heineken Cup Final, Bath defeated Brive, he started for Bath.
Guscott works with the BBC as a pundit on their Rugby Special, Scrum V, and 6 Nations programmes.
