Nick Abendanon is an English rugby union player, currently playing for ASM Clermont Auvergne in the Top14. Full-back Abendanon burst onto the scene during the 2006?07 season, scoring 10 tries in 24 first-team appearances for Bath. His form that season earned him a first England cap in South Africa ? the country of his birth ? in June 2007. He was capped again against France in August 2007, but narrowly missed out on a place in England's 30-man squad. However, he did eventually travel to France as cover for the final after a Josh Lewsey injury. A strong tackler, balanced runner and dangerous counter-attacker, he firmly established himself as Bath's first-choice full-back in the post-Matt Perry era. Some fine performances during the 2008?09 season were rewarded with a call-up for the England Saxons squad for the 2009 Churchill Cup in the United States. Retaining his place in the squad, Abendanon was part of the England Saxons victory of the 2010 Churchill Cup and his impressive performances resulted in him being named Player of the Tournament. Entering the 2010?11 season Abendanon continued his good form.
