Biography
[edit]Marsh was born in Rotorua and is the identical twin brother of France international Tony Marsh.[2]
A flanker, Marsh was a Counties Manukau player and had three Super 12 seasons with the Chiefs. He made representative appearances for New Zealand A and NZ Maori.[3]
Marsh left New Zealand in 2001 to ply his trade in Japanese professional rugby with NEC Green Rockets.[2]
In 2007, Marsh made his way into the John Kirwan-coached Japan national team and was capped three times, until it was discovered that his previous New Zealand A matches made him ineligible, putting him out of World Cup contention.[2][4]
