Timeline

1971

Marc Christopher Gwynne Ellis (born 8 October 1971) is a New Zealand businessman, television presenter, and former rugby union and rugby league footballer who played in the 1990s and 2000s.

A graduate of the University of Otago, his primary business interest was in Charlie's, a juice company.

1991

Ellis started out for Otago in the NPC in 1991 when he was playing for the club side University, and he was selected for the NZ Colts.

1992

He made a name for himself while playing for Otago, which earned him All Black selection in 1992.

Ellis first played for the All Blacks in 1992, against a South Australian Invitation XV, then against Australian club and invitation sides.

1993

He scored two tries in his first test, in 1993, at first five-eighth against Scotland, won 51–15 by the All Blacks.

A week later he was selected for the test against England where he also played first five.

Ellis played his last match of 1993 against the Barbarians.

1994

For the 1994 season, Ellis was not selected for the All Blacks and did not attend the NZ trial due to injury, but he did play for the New Zealand XV and New Zealand Universities sides.

1995

During the 1995 Rugby World Cup he scored six tries in the game against Japan, which is the record for the most tries by an individual in a Rugby World Cup match.

Ellis stayed with Otago until 1995 when he switched code to rugby league.

In 1995 Ellis was re-called to the All Blacks for the World Cup, playing five games on the wing.

He scored seven tries in the tournament, six of them in the 145–17 win over Japan.

At the end of the 1995 season Ellis switched to league to play for the Auckland Warriors where he joined his All Blacks teammate John Kirwan.

1996

Ellis was Warrior number 29 when he played his first match in 1996.

He played for the Warriors between 1996 and 1998, playing in 36 matches and scoring 103 points through 11 tries, 29 goals and 1 field goal.

Ellis also represented the New Zealand national rugby league team, the Kiwis, in 5 matches.

From 1996 to 2005 Ellis was a regular presenter on the TV2 talk show SportsCafe, where he was known for his "larrikin" personality.

1998

In 1998, after two seasons of league, Ellis played for North Harbour in the NPC, where he remained for another two seasons.

Ellis missed out on the first few seasons of the Super 12 due to his rugby league career, but when he returned to rugby union in 1998 it was only a short time before he was into the Super 12.

After playing a solid season for North Harbour in the NPC Ellis was picked for the Blues, where he played one season.

1999

In 1999, after strong seasons with North Harbour and the Blues, Ellis was named in one of the early training squads for the 1999 Rugby World Cup, but he was not selected in the final team and played for NZ A instead.

2000

Ellis played his last season of NPC in 2000 for North Harbour.

In 2000 Ellis played his final Super 12 season for the Highlanders before retiring from rugby.

In the early 2000s, Ellis was a popular figure on New Zealand television, often appearing alongside fellow former rugby union and league player Matthew Ridge, notably on light-hearted documentaries.

2003

In 2003 he inaugurated the mock public holiday "National Nude Day" by challenging viewers to streak in front of then Prime Minister Helen Clark.

2004

In 2004, as part of a one such programme, Ellis took part in and won the famous and eccentric British annual event, the Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake.

2005

In 2005, Ellis purchased ecstasy tablets from a drug dealer who was under surveillance by the New Zealand Police.

Ellis was among many high-profile figures caught in the operation, code-named Aqua.

His court appearance put an end to a poorly-kept secret, as despite the fact he had originally obtained name suppression, his identity was widely known by the New Zealand public.

Ellis was fined $300.

2006

In 2006, he released his autobiography Crossing the Line, which details all aspects of his life.

2007

On 15 November 2007, as part of an elaborate marketing ploy for his latest business venture, Ellis detonated 600 kg of explosives on top of Rangitoto Island, a nature reserve in Auckland's Waitematā Harbour.

This was an attempt to create an illusion that the volcanic island was erupting.

The New Zealand Department of Conservation described the stunt as "demoralising and very disappointing".

There is a total fire ban on the island because of ecological significance.

2010

Ellis has since co-authored Good Fullas: A Guide to Kiwi Blokes, released in 2010 with friend and New Zealand Consul General to Italy, Charlie Haddrell.

In 2010 the Gardens Tavern, then a popular student pub in North Dunedin, was advertised for sale; Ellis attempted to buy it but was outbid by the University of Otago, who converted it into a study centre.

The university student magazine Critic alleges that the University bought it for the specific purpose of keeping it out of Ellis' hands.
