James Thomas Ossian Stenmark (6 November 1924 – 10 November 2008) was an Australian rugby union player.[1]
Stenmark was born in Coraki and attended Saint Ignatius' College, Riverview.[2]
Tall and wiry, Stenmark was a versatile forward and capable goal-kicker, selected by the Wallabies from Sydney University for the 1947/48 tours of the British Isles and North America. He featured in over 20 tour matches, without earning a cap, and even acted as touch judge in a fixture against the Barbarians.[2]
Stenmark, a dental surgeon by profession, lectured in dentistry at Wagga Base Hospital during his later years.[3]
