Kurt Daniel Shuman (born January 5, 1974) is an American former international rugby union player.[1]
Shuman, a native of Rockville, Maryland, was a Penn State varsity captain and could play as a fly-half or fullback.[2]
Capped 29 times, Shuman competed on the United States national team between 1997 and 2001.[3] He was used in Test rugby as a fullback and featured in all three of America's pool matches at the 1999 Rugby World Cup, where they were grouped with Australia, Ireland and Romania. His 78th-minute try against Romania may have earned them a draw had Kevin Dalzell been accurate with his sideline conversion.[4]
Shuman undertook postgraduate studies at Oxford University and was awarded a rugby blue.[5]
