Gross started his rugby career far later than most international players, even those from countries like the USA where rugby is not a major sport, not taking up the sport seriously until age 24, after he had attended Marshall University. He began his rugby career with the Cincinnati Wolfhounds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Men's National Team Player Profile: Luke Gross )〕 His 6"9' frame gave him a considerable presence in the line-out. Although he was named to the USA squad for the 2007 Rugby World Cup, and played in the 2007 squad's final warmup against Celtic League side Munster, he did not play in the World Cup itself.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Men's National Team Player Detail: Luke Gross )〕 Gross last played rugby for the Doncaster Knights, who play in National Division One, the second level of the game in England. He now works at the USA Rugby National Office in Boulder, CO as the High Performance Player Development Manager. ==Clubs== * Harlequins FC * Rugby Rovigo * Rugby Roma * Llanelli Scarlets * Rotherham Titans * Newcastle Falcons * Doncaster Knights * Sheffield Tigers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luke Gross」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
