Biography

Redcliffe forward, originally from Roma, spent four months in France with the Tonneins club in 1982-83 before using the State of Origin stage to force his way into the Australian side against NZ in 1983. A rugged, no-nonsense back-rower Fullerton Smith played in the last two Tests of the series against Great Britain in 1984 before joining English club Leeds in the 1984-85 off-season. He toured NZ again in 1985, and after signing with St George in 1987, his rep career continued with three Test appearances against Great Britain and the one-off Test against Papua New Guinea in 1988. The match against Rest of the World that year proved to be his last for Australia, although his Sydney career continued until the end of the 1992 season. Fullerton Smith again played briefly in France in 1993.

    I am sad that Wallys career at the BRL club is not mentioned. While he played for Redcliffe he broke through to be famous.
