Our partner, Courtenay Poulden, was recently selected to represent the English Rugby Union team as its legal counsel during its tour of Australia. This appointment followed a number of recent appointments for Mr Poulden in the world of rugby. He was one of the five panel lawyers appointed during the 2003 World Cup in Australia. During that tournament he appeared for the electrifying Fijian winger, Rupini Caucauribuca, following an incident in the World Cup opener against France.
