Who is Andy Long?
Andy Long is a former English rugby union player who played at Hooker. He has 2 caps for England.
Originally a product of Bournemouth and the Bath academy, where he came to the attention of Bath coach Clive Woodward, having captained England U19 and U21. Woodward was appointed England coach in 1997 and picked the 20-year old on potential for his first match in charge against Australia. However, Long played poorly and was replaced at half-time by Richard Cockerill, who then started the subsequent matches against New Zealand with Long on the bench. Long however did not again enter the field of play. He thus seemed destined to become a "one cap wonder" until gaining a second cap against the United States in 2001 when most of the regular England players were away with the 2001 British Lions tour to Australia. He also played for England in a non cap international against The Barbarians in 2003.
Meanwhile, Long spent 7 years at Bath, before joining Irish province Munster during the 2003 World Cup, after which he returned to England with Rotherham, who were relegated in 2004 and he travelled further north to join Newcastle Falcons.
