James Dalton (born 16 August 1972) is a South African rugby union player who played for the South Africa national rugby union team.[1] He was educated at Parktown Boys' High School and matriculated at Jeppe High School for Boys in Johannesburg, South Africa.

He was the winner of the 1995 World Cup but did not play in the final or the semi-final. In his second pool match, against Canada, he took part in a fight, and was suspended for the rest of the tournament.[2][3]

Career

Provincial

Dalton played for the Transvaal Schools team in 1990 and was also selected for the South African Schools team in 1990. He made his debut for the Transvaal senior side in 1992 and in 2001 went to play for the Falcons.

In Super Rugby, Dalton played for the Cats during 1998 and 1999 and for the Bulls in 2001 and 2002.[4]

National team

He played his first game for the Springboks on 8 October 1994 against Argentina. His last test match took place on 23 November 2002 against England.[5]

He played in the 1995 World Cup (two games, winners). Although it is widely reported he took part in a fight which led to him missing the remainder of the 1995 World Cup, TV footage shows that Dalton was trying to stop the fight and calm the situation down.[citation needed]
