Biography
Eastwood RU pivot played in 15 Tests for the Wallabies during 1985-87 but had his rugby league aspirations shattered with a series of injuries after turning professional. Papworth's considerable talents were rarely on show after a succession of broken jaw, knee and shoulder injuries limited him to just a handful of games. After a frustrating rugby league career he retired from the game and despite being denied a clearance to return to Rugby to play for Eastwood by the International Rugby Board, he returned to the amateur code with the blessing of the NSWRU.
