From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tony Underwood (born 17 February 1969) is a former English rugby union footballer who played as a wing three-quarter back. He is of Chinese-English parentage.
Following his elder brother Rory, he played for Leicester Tigers and England. He made his England debut in October 1992 against Canada, and went on to win a total of 27 English caps. Tony and Rory were the first brothers to play for England together since Harold and Arthur Wheatley in England's 1937 6-3 win over Scotland, and partnered in the 1995 Five Nations Grand Slam win.
He played in the Rugby World Cup in 1995.
In 1995, he left Leicester for Newcastle Falcons. His last cap for England came in December 1998 against South Africa where he was replaced early; England went on to win. He is now retired from international rugby, and has become a pilot for EasyJet.
