Phil Kearns Bio

Phil Kearns is a former Wallabies stalwart who captained his country on 10 occasions. Since his retirement from the game, he’s enjoyed a hugely successful career as a rugby commentator and pundit. Phil Kearns was inducted into the RugbyPass Hall of Fame in 2021.

Throughout his distinguished career, Phil Kearns played his provincial rugby for New South Wales and played club rugby for Randwick. However, he’s best known for his career with the Australian national team, which spanned from 1989 to 1999. During this period, he represented his country 67 times and captained the team on 10 occasions. During his international career, he won the Rugby World Cup in both 1991 and 1999. As a result, he’s a member of a small group of people who have won multiple Rugby World Cups.

During his time with the Wallabies, Phil Kearns engaged in a serious rivalry with New Zealand’s Sean Fitzpatrick. The pair engaged in numerous battles during Bledisloe Cup matches, with exchanges between the two often becoming fiery. However, although they were always enemies on the pitch, they have become close friends since they ended their careers.

Due to his achievements in the game, Phil Kearns was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia in 2017. A year later, in 2018, he was inducted into the Australian Rugby Hall of Fame.

Since retiring from rugby, Phil Kearns has primarily worked as a rugby pundit and commentator on Australian television. However, he also works for several charitable organisations and private businesses.
