James Edward Staples, detto Jim (Londra, 20 ottobre 1965), è un ex rugbista a 15 internazionale per l'Irlanda, che militò nelle squadre inglesi dei London Irish e degli Harlequins nel ruolo di estremo.


Biografia

Nato a Bermondsey, sobborgo di Londra, Staples compì studi universitari in Economia. Nel 1990 entrò nella squadra degli espatriati irlandesi in Inghilterra, i London Irish[1], contestualmente raggiungendo la prima divisione nella stagione d'esordio.

Nel 1991 debuttò per l'Irlanda nel Cinque Nazioni contro il Galles a Cardiff e, a fine anno, fu incluso nella rosa che prese parte alla Coppa del Mondo di rugby 1991 nel Regno Unito.

A causa di vari infortuni (uno, in particolare, ai legamenti del ginocchio, che gli fece saltare l'intera stagione 1993-94[2]) non riuscì mai a essere una presenza stabile a livello internazionale; convocato anche alla Coppa del Mondo di rugby 1995, quando già si era trasferito agli Harlequins da un anno[2], si ruppe una mano nel primo incontro dell'Irlanda contro la Nuova Zelanda dopo mezz'ora di gioco[2].

Ancora, nel 1996, una frattura alla mascella durante un test match novembrino contro l'Australia lo mise a rischio per il Cinque Nazioni 1997[2], al quale tuttavia, recuperando in tempi brevi, riuscì a prendere parte da capitano[3], anche se tale edizione di torneo costituì la sua ultima vetrina internazionale; il 1º marzo infatti disputò contro la Scozia il suo ventiseiesimo e finale test match per l'Irlanda e l'anno seguente si ritirò dalle competizioni; al suo attivo anche la rappresentanza provinciale del Connacht e un invito dei Barbarians nel 1992.

Dopo il ritiro ha continuato a lavorare nel settore bancario presso istituti di rilievo come la francese Société générale[4] e la britannica Barclays[5].
