Up until recently, few players in Australian rugby have had as much team success but as little individual fortune as Aussie 7s and Sydney Uni playmaker Stu Dunbar.

The 30-year old flyhalf has been a constant in the Students’ backline, winning multiple Shute Shield premierships in grade and colts since 2011.

But while his teammates, often younger and less experienced, capitalised on the Students’ team success and picked up professional contracts around him, Dunbar never seemed so lucky.

He toiled away in the Sydney Uni backline for the best part of a decade, before finally finding a home with the Aussie 7s.
