Marcos Flegmann (February 12, 1990 – December 21, 2020) was a Mexican-born American rugby union and rugby league player who had 14 official caps (appearances) with the Mexico Serpientes. Flegmann held the Mexican record for the most official test matches in a row with 14; he had not missed any games with Mexico since his first cap. He was also the captain of the USARL 2015 National Champions the Boston Thirteens.[1] He was noted for once eating a whole wheel of chocolate-covered Gruyère cheese during halftime of international play. His entrance music during Boston games was "Trapped in the Closet" by R. Kelly.[2]
Flegmann also played rugby union with the 2016 USA Rugby National Champions Mystic River Rugby Club in the American Rugby Premiership.
Death[edit]
Flegmann died after battling bone cancer on December 21, 2020.[3]
