Anthony Ekert

Anthony John Ekert (born 29 March 1969) is an Australian former professional rugby union player.

Born in Sydney, Ekert was a Roselea junior and played in the 1st XV of Oakhill College.

Ekert, a scrum-half, twice won Sportsperson of the Year at the University of Newcastle, where he studied for a degree in civil engineering, and while there earned a New South Wales call up for their 1991 tour of Argentina.

In 1992, Ekert represented Australia at the Hong Kong Sevens and was rewarded for his performance in a Sydney representative team's win over the touring All Blacks with Wallabies selection on the end of year tour, filling a position vacated by the retired Nick Farr-Jones. He was on the bench for the Tests against Ireland and Wales, with Peter Slattery preferred at scrum-half, but featured in five uncapped matches during the tour.

Ekert won Shute Shield premierships with Gordon in 1993 and 1995.
