William Geoffrey Abram (born 28 October 1957) is an Australian former professional rugby union player.
Abram, a Quirindi junior product, boarded at The King's School and was their 1st XV captain in 1975.[1]
A front row forward, Abram toured New Zealand in 1982 with New South Wales.[2] He joined Randwick in 1983 and injured his knee in the final match of the season, which required a full reconstruction. After recovering, Abram ended up at Brisbane club Wests and came into Wallabies contention when he was named in an extended 40-man squad for the 1984 tour of Britain and Ireland, but a neck injury suffered during weight training ended his chances.[1]
Abram won a premiership with Wests in 1985 and the following year was in the team that made the semi-finals of the Toulouse Masters, a world club championship hosted by France.[1] [3]
In 1986, Abram was called up by the Wallabies as a reserve for a Test match against Italy at Ballymore. He didn't get to come on off the bench and missed another opportunity to win a cap when an injured hamstring ruled him out of that year's tour of New Zealand, for which he was due to be selected.[1]
Abram's son Geoff played professional rugby and his daughter Felicity was a world number one ranked triathlete.[1] [4]
