Born in Australia – Brent Cockbain represented the Wallabies at age-group level before moving to Wales to pursue a senior career.
Cockbain – who played for Pontypridd, Celtic Warriors and Ospreys in Wales – qualified on residency grounds and was a key part of the Welsh side that won the 2005 Grand Slam.
Originally omitted from Sir Clive Woodward’s Lions squad to take on New Zealand that same year, the lock was flown out during the Tour as a replacement.
He would go on to make two appearances, both off the bench in clashes with Auckland and Manawatu.
