Born in New Zealand, Richard moved to Queensland when he was 15 and quickly became an integral part of his state and Australian representative sides. His performance for Australia at the IRB Junior World Championship in 2009 earned him a place on the shortlist for that year’s world Junior Player of the Year. Richard proved his versatility by making 12 appearances for the Rebels in the Club’s debut season; half of which he began as the starting fullback, a quarter as a winger and the remaining three from the bench. He went on to play 10 matches in 2012 as he battled with Nick Phipps, although still made a massive contribution when given the chance.Richard’s brilliance in the Australian Sevens program earned him a place on the Wallabies spring tour of 2009, which included a midweek match against the Cardiff Blues.
