Richard Metcalfe (born 21 November 1973 in Leeds, England[1]) is a Scottish former rugby union player. He was the world's tallest ever international rugby player. At 7 feet (213 cm), Metcalfe was about six inches taller than a typical second row forward, giving him considerable presence at the front of the line-out.
He won 13 Scotland caps between 2000 and 2001 and played for the Newcastle Falcons and Northampton Saints. At Newcastle Falcons he made 6 appearances for the Falcons the season they won the 1997-98 Premiership,[2] and at Northampton he played in every game apart from the final for which he was a replacement (due to injury) in the victorious 2000 Heineken Cup Final as they defeated Munster.[3] In 2003, however, his contract with the Borders/SRU was terminated and he retired after he suffered a long-term knee injury.[4]
