Brett Papworth is an Australian dual-code footballer born in Sydney in 1963, who played centre in both rugby union and rugby league. He made fifteen test appearances for the Wallabies between 1985 and 1987 before switching to league in 1988 and signing with Eastern Suburbs, now the Sydney Roosters, in the New South Wales Rugby League competition. Injuries to his shoulders and knees and a broken jaw limited him to seven first grade appearances in four years, and he retired at twenty seven after the 1991 season. He then built a second career in sports commentary, calling the Shute Shield for ABC Television and presenting a talkback sports show on radio.
