Tony Diprose was a late call-up for the 1997 tour to South Africa as an injury replacement for Scott Quinnell, making two appearances against the Junior Springboks and Northern Free State.

He captained England A and was voted RFU Young Player of the Year in 1994.

Diprose won ten full caps for England and, in 1998, captained the team against Australia, after Matt Dawson was forced to withdraw through injury.

He played for Saracens and Harlequins during a 14-year professional club career.
