He is a former national representative rugby union player and has been the chair of the Australian Republic Movement since 2015. Early lifeFitzSimons grew up in Peats Ridge,[1] in the Central Coast of New South Wales. He was one of seven children. He attended Peats Ridge Primary School, and Knox Grammar School before going in 1978 to Findlay High School, Ohio,[2] for a year as an exchange student on an American Field Service Scholarship. He then completed an arts degree at the University of Sydney,[3] residing at Wesley College from 1980 to 1982.[4] CareerRugbyFitzSimons' club rugby was played first with the Sydney University Football Club and then with the Manly RUFC in Sydney in the 1980s under the coaching of Alan Jones.[5] Between 1985 and 1989 he played with CA Brive in France for four seasons as the club's first foreign player. He played seven test matches at lock for Australia between 1989 and 1990, debuting against France in Strasbourg in November 1989, on the Wallabies 1989 tour of Europe. His final Test match was against New Zealand in Christchurch.[6] Former Wallabies winger David Campese has criticised FitzSimons for starting a brawl in Australia's first Test against France in 1990.[8]{{rp|117, 166}} Campese labelled FitzSimons' actions "a disgrace to the good name of rugby"[7]{{rp|117}} and asserted that "he was doing the game and its reputation enormous damage."[7]{{rp|166}} Campese cautioned that if such fights "turn even one family away from the game, then they have been too costly".[7]{{rp|166}} JournalistFitzSimons has written for The Sydney Morning Herald since 1988,[8] and has been a sports columnist for that publication since 1987.[9] He regularly appears on the Australian Foxtel programme, The Back Page, formerly hosted by rugby league journalist Mike Gibson and now Tony Squires. For the Saturday edition of the Sydney Morning Herald, FitzSimons writes a column titled "The Fitz Files" which looks at all the happenings over the past seven days in sport. He writes a more general version of "The Fitz Files" in The Sun-Herald on Sundays, focusing on community activities and events in Sydney. Andrew Denton has called him "Australia's finest sports journalist".[10] RadioIn January 2006 FitzSimons began co-hosting a breakfast radio program with Mike Carlton on Sydney radio station 2UE. He was brought onto the 2UE breakfast show in an attempt to boost the program's dwindling ratings.[11] However, the Mike and Fitz Breakfast Show still trailed a long way behind the number one program on 2GB, hosted by FitzSimons' former coach Alan Jones.[12] After two years, FitzSimons hung up the headphones to become a stay-at-home dad and focus on his writing.[13] BooksFitzSimons' published works include:
