Keynote
Kyran Bracken MBE
Kyran Bracken played rugby for England for ten years, making his debut against the All Blacks when Jamie Joseph famously stood on his ankle. Although plagued with injury, he gained 50 caps - the highlight being his contribution to the World Cup win in 2003. Until the advent of the professional game, Kyran balanced playing for Bristol with a successful career in law. He took part in trials for Ireland, but was rejected and told to return in a few years – which he did, albeit on the opposing team. He went on to play 170 times for Saracens, tour with the Lions and appear on numerous occasions for the Barbarians.
After retiring Kyran swapped his rugby shirt for all-in-one lycra and agreed to appear on ITV’s Dancing on Ice. He went on to win the contest. The spray tan and sparkly outfits clearly made their mark - Kyran’s passion for ice skating continues. But he’s also stayed close to rugby as a coach at Leicester.
