Craig QuinnellCraig Quinnell (born July 9, 1975, Swansea) is a Rugby Union player who plays for the Cardiff Blues and Wales. Position Second Row Height: 6.6 ft Weight: 20.4 st International Caps: 32 Craig Quinnell played 54 games for the Cardiff club between November 1999 and May 2002 and established himself as one of the backbones of the pack. Though often in the firing line from opposition forwards, he never took a step backwards and was a firm favourite with the Cardiff faithful. He began his senior career with Llanelli and after that joined Richmond for two years. Quinnell in may 2002 left Cardiff to join English club Saracens and, for a short while, Worcester but was among the earliest recruits to the newly-established Cardiff Blues. Craig won his first international cap as a flank forward against Fiji in 1995 at the age of 20 and now has 32 international appearances to his name (the majority in the second row) He was a member of the World Cup squad in 1999 and has toured with Wales to Argentina, also in 1999, and Japan two years later. As a player Quinnell has a reputation as a fearsome with the ball in his hands barging the oppostion out of the way but unfortunately also as an ill disciplined player frequently picking up yellow and red cards. Craig Quinnell is the son of former Welsh international Derek Quinnell and the younger brother of Scott Quinnell. Quinnell, Craig Quinnell, Craig
