Rugby player. Adam Parker from Christchurch, New Zealand represented Japan in the RWC2003 in Australia, at lock. He is currently out of favour, but should come back in to the reckoning as RWC2007 draws near. Formerly with Toshiba Brave Lupus, he is now with NTT East Japan. The latter club did not release him for Japan's disastrous tour of Europe (Scotland, Rumania and Wales) in November 2004.
