Key Information
Adam Charles Leach (born 24 November 1971) is an Australian former professional rugby union player.
Born in Corowa, Leach was a flanker and won the 1997 AAMI Medal for the best player in Sydney first-grade, while captaining Eastwood.[1] He appeared for the New South Wales Waratahs against the Chiefs in the opening round of the 1997 Super 12 season, then was restricted to the bench for the remaining fixtures.[2] After his Waratahs contract was not renewed, Leach continued his career in England with Harlequins.[3]
Leach succeeded Viliami Ofahengaue as Tonga head coach in 2006 and steered the team to a place in the 2007 Rugby World Cup, though he resigned prior to the tournament over frustration with administrators.[4]
