The Queensland Rugby community is mourning the loss of Queensland Representative 632, Tom Corcoran, who passed on December 1 at the age of 89.

A stalwart of Brothers Rugby Club, Tom made his debut for Queensland in 1952 against New South Wales after joining Brothers in 1949.

Tom went on to play eight games for Queensland, while he was also a member of the Brothers ‘Team of the Decade’ for the 1950’s and played in three premiership wins in the butcher’s stripes.
