Ryan Constable (born 20 October 1971) is a South African-born Australian former professional rugby union player.
Constable, born in Durban, left South Africa aged 11 and attended Coolum High School on the Sunshine Coast.[1]
A speedy three-quarter, Constable was part of the 1993 Wallabies tour, but injuries restricted him to a combined 18 minutes of play and he didn't feature in any of the Tests.[2] His only international cap came the following year when he and GPS teammate Daniel Herbert debuted against Ireland at the Sydney Football Stadium.[3] He came on off the bench to play on the wing. Unusually, he had yet to have represented Queensland at the time of his Wallabies debut.[1]
In 2000, Constable set a Premiership Rugby record of six tries in a match for Saracens against Bedford.[4]
Constable played for Ulster from 2000 to 2004, earning 48 caps.[5] He remained in Northern Ireland after retiring from rugby and is based in Belfast, where he works as a sports agent.[6]
