From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luke Gross (born November 21, 1969 in Decatur, Indiana) is an American rugby union footballer. A lock who has played for various club sides, he earned 62 caps for the USA between 1996 and 2003; although he was named to the USA squad for the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and played in the 2007 squad's final warmup against Celtic League side Munster, he did not play in the World Cup itself.[1] Gross is the all-time caps leader for the USA.[2]
Gross started his rugby career far later than most international players, even those from countries like the USA where rugby is not a major sport, not taking up the sport seriously until age 24, after he had attended Marshall University.[3] He played basketball for the Thundering Herd for two seasons (1991–92 and 1992–93).[4]
Luke currently plays his rugby for the Doncaster Knights, who play in National Division One, the second level of the game in England.
