Sean Duke (born May 7, 1988) is a Canadian rugby union player who has competed for the Canadian national team since 2008.[1]

Education

[edit]

After studying for two years at Queen's University, he transferred to the University of Victoria to complete his BSc in Kinesiology after 4 additional years due to rugby commitments. He completed his MSc in Kinesiology at the University of Victoria in two and a half years also due to rugby commitments.[2] He retired from rugby in late 2016 due to a back injury and due to beginning studies for an MD at the University of British Columbia, but was later invited to play for a Canadian test series in June 2017.[2]
