The Wallabies most-capped forward and two-time John Eales Medallist Nathan Sharpe has swapped his boots for the microphone and will begin his post-rugby career in Fox Sports?s new rugby show, Rugby HQ.
Sharpe joins the country?s most recognised commentary team, headed by the game?s number one caller Greg Clark and Wallabies greats Phil Kearns and Tim Horan.
He?ll also work alongside the likes of Rod Kafer, Brendan Cannon and Greg Martin.
Sharpe will make his first on-air appearance on the brand new rugby show, Rugby HQ, which replaces The Rugby Club at the 8.30pm (EDT) timeslot on Thursday nights.
Rugby HQ will premiere at 8.30pm AEDT this Thursday night (February 14) on Fox Sports 2HD & Fox Sports 2, where Sharpe will be joined by Martin and host Nick McArdle to preview the Super Rugby season for each of the Aussie teams and look ahead to Friday night?s opener between Melbourne Rebels and Western Force.
"Rugby is a genuine love for me, so I hope to carry that into my job with FOX SPORTS and add a different perspective to what is already a really well established and excellent commentary team," Sharpe said.
"I?ve been lucky enough to play with a lot of the current crop of players, so I?m going to try to bring some insight into what the individual players and teams are trying to achieve.
"I feel I can bring a unique perspective in that regard, having only retired from international rugby a couple of months ago."
Sharpe?s duties will include regular appearances as a panellist on Rugby HQ, plus sideline commentary work and behind-the-scenes reporting on match day throughout the Super Rugby and international seasons, including the British & Irish Lions Tour and The Rugby Championship.
