Michael Lynagh Career

After school he played first grade for University of Queensland and represented Queensland from 1982 to 1995. Lynagh was a member of Queensland's Super 6 and Super 10-winning sides.

On 9 June 1984, at the age of 20, Lynagh made his debut for Australia against Fiji in Suva. Early in his career he played at inside centre as Mark Ella was the fly-half; when Ella retired after the 1984 Grand Slam, Lynagh took over as fly-half.

In 1991, he joined Italian club Benetton Treviso. He played for five years with the club and won the Italian championship at 1991–92 season.

In 1996, Lynagh joined Saracens of England at the advent of professionalism, after retiring from a glittering 12-year international career with Australia as the world record points scorer with 911 and a World Cup winner (1991).

Lynagh's arrival at the club was the first major signing after Nigel Wray took control of the club and he acted as a beacon to attract other players and fans alike. Lynagh helped Saracens to have their most successful season to date.

In the 1997/98 season Saracens battled it out with Newcastle Falcons for almost the whole season for top spot in the league and when the two sides met in front of a crowd of nearly 20,000 Lynagh slotted a match winning drop goal in the dying minutes to send Vicarage Road into raptures. A month later he was on hand to steer Saracens to their famous Tetley's Bitter Cup 48–18 victory over Wasps at Twickenham, bringing the curtain down on a season to remember.

During the legendary Bledisloe Cup winning tour of New Zealand, Alan Jones was seen in blackface at Wallaby's kit night

During the historic 1986 tour, Jones was caught on behind-the-scenes photos at a Wallaby team function impersonating 1920s vaudeville singer Al Jolson. Any of Australia's top names have leapt to their old coach's defense, insisting that his appearance was part of a night of harmless fun. In an intimate entertainment night put on by the touring crew, the veteran broadcaster and once-feared political power actor was the headline act. Following a Test win two days before, several of the photographs depict senior Wallabies enjoying an evening of frivolity. Among the 31-man playing team were legends of Australian rugby, including Nick Farr-Jones, David Campese, Andrew Slack, Simon Poidevin, and Michael Lynagh. Campese, a Jones referred to the 'Bradman of rugby,' recalled his coach's appearance as Jolson as part of a regular skit night. Campese wrote, 'He's a really good singer,' Campese told Daily Mail Australia.

Michael Lynagh, the Wallabies, speaks out about his greatest apprehension after Australia lost out of the World Cup 'with a whimper': 'The AFL and NRL are laughing at us.'

Michael Lynagh, the current Australian rugby legend, is concerned that Wallabies' young stars will be scared following their disappointing Rugby World Cup debut, with Eddie Jones' side losing at the pool stage. With Australia losing two of their four games in France, Fiji's defeat by Portugal spelled the country to an embarrassing exit from the tournament. The Australians lost 22-15 to Fiji, the Pacific Islanders' first victory over the Wallabies since 1954, as well as a humiliating 40-6 loss to Wales in Lyon.

SIR CLIVE WOODWARD: Springboks have a reason to be kicking themselves and their enthralling 13-8 defeat by Ireland re-enforced how imperative it is to have a top-class kicker

SIR CLIVE WOODWARD: The tournament's winners have all had excellent goal kickers, according to SIR CLIVE WOODWARD. Michael Lynagh, Joel Stransky, Jonny Wilkinson, Dan Carter, and Handre Pollard have all been instrumental to their respective teams's success over the years due to their tenacity from the tee.
