Cameron Blades (born 16 April 1971) is an Australian international former rugby union player who played at the Loosehead Prop position, but could also cover at Tighthead Prop and Hooker. He played professionally for New South Wales Waratahs and Glasgow Warriors.
Blades was born in Sydney. He had one full international cap for Australia against England in Sydney on 12 July 1997. Australia won the match 25 - 6.[2] He also played for the Australian Under 21s. His brother Andrew Blades also played for Australia and was a member of the Australian 1999 Rugby World Cup winning squad.
He was signed for Glasgow Warriors in 2001 by coach Richie Dixon and entered the UK because of his Irish passport,[3] leaving New South Wales Waratahs.[4] This meant he could play in the Heineken Cup as a non-foreigner. While not playing for Warriors, he played for Glasgow Hawks.[5][6]
He is now the Forwards coach for New South Wales Waratahs.[7]
