Timeline

1973

Richard Anthony Hill (born 23 May 1973) is a former rugby union footballer who played as a Flanker for Saracens and England.

Often portrayed as the 'silent Assassin' at both club and international level, Hill was renowned for his effective and abrasive style of forward play.

Big hits, shrewd driving and energy-sapping support play, were features of his exceptionally well-rounded game which made him one of the most highly rated flankers of his era.

He was born on 23 May 1973 in Dormansland, Surrey.

On his mother's side, Hill is a second cousin removed of film director Peter Jackson (Richard Hill's maternal grandmother and Peter Jackson's mother are first cousins both by father's side ).

His nephew is left back, Ben Purrington.

Hill attended Bishop Wordsworth's Grammar School in Salisbury, and gained early prominence as a schools international.

It is coincidental that his namesake, who coaches Bristol, had also attended the same school and both played for Salisbury Rugby Club.

1984

He has a namesake, Richard John Hill, who played for England at scrum half between 1984 and 1992.

1993

He made his first Saracens appearance in 1993.

1995

Hill graduated from the West London Institute of Higher Education in Sports Science and Geography, in 1995.

He also won the IB Mac prize in recognition of his combined academic and athletic achievements.

1997

Hill made his England debut in the 1997 Five Nations Championship against Scotland, playing at openside Flanker.

He was selected ahead of Neil Back, who was controversially ignored by the England team for that period.

He toured South Africa with the British Lions in the summer of 1997, gaining two caps.

1998

He missed Saracens’ Tetley's Bitter Cup victory in 1998 with a back injury.

Under new coach Clive Woodward, Hill was initially selected at openside, but was moved to blindside Flanker to accommodate Neil Back on the openside flank, Lawrence Dallaglio moving from blindside to number eight.

It was in this position, with this Hill, Back, Dallaglio combination of players, that Hill gained most of his caps.

2002

On 16 July 2002, Brunel University conferred upon Hill the honorary degree of Master of the University.

2003

Although Hill had been named in England's 2003 Rugby World Cup squad, his place appeared in jeopardy after he suffered a hamstring strain on the eve of the tournament.

Coach Clive Woodward decided that it was worth the risk to keep Hill in the team.

Hill missed the pool games, and days out from England's quarterfinal clash with Wales, scans on the injured hamstring initially revealed grim prospects, but Hill was encouraged by the team physios that it was still possible to recover in time for the semi-final.

England saw off a brave challenge from Wales in the quarterfinal to advance to the semi-finals.

Hill was named in the starting line up for the semi-final against France.

England easily coped with the much-vaunted French back-row.

Hill played a key role in helping England defeat Australia in the final.

Since Neil Back's retirement in 2003, Hill switched back to the openside Flanker role.

He is the only player never to have been dropped during Sir Clive Woodward's England tenure, due to his prolific work in the rucks and mauls.

2004

Hill injured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in a match against London Irish on 3 October 2004, and underwent surgery three days later.

2005

He was out for the following seven months, but returned to be named in a Lions touring squad for the third time in 2005.

He was named in the starting fifteen for the first Lions Test against the All Blacks, but suffered a knee injury during the first half, ending his tour.

2007

He played for Saracens and was selected for the England Saxons (A-Team) squad for the 2007 internationals.

2008

In January 2008 Hill announced that he would retire at the end of the current Guinness Premiership season, due to the toll taken upon his knee since his two injuries, which had left him with a permanent limp.

However, in April 2008, his man-of-the-match performance in the Heineken Cup victory over Ospreys confirmed his continued ability to perform at the highest level.

On 11 May 2008, Hill played his final game for Saracens, who won 25–20 against Bristol.

On 20 September 2008, Hill appeared for the Help for Heroes XV in a charity match against Scott Gibbs' International XV at Twickenham Stadium to raise funds for injured servicemen and women.

He scored a try in the Heroes' 29–10 win.

2019

In 2019, Hill was appointed Team Manager of the England Rugby Team, having previously served in a similar role with the England Saxons.
