David Jason Horwitz (born 30 September 1994), commonly referred to as Dave, is an Australian rugby union player who plays as a Centre for Sydney rugby club Randwick. He formerly played for Irish rugby club Connacht and domestically New South Wales Country Eagles who did compete in the National Rugby Championship (NRC).[1] His regular playing position is fly-half, however, Horwitz has played multiple positions in the past, including Centre.
Horwitz has represented Australia at schoolboy and under-20 level. Horwitz is contracted with Connacht for the 2018–19 seasons.[2]
Horwitz was the first, and currently only, Jew to play in the Super Rugby for an Australian club.[3] In 2016, when speaking about being Jewish, Horwitz said: “I want to be known as a footballer on merit and I also want to be known in the Jewish community because I’m a proud Jew and I know that does coincide with the rugby because it’s almost a strange thing because there’s not a lot of Jewish sportsmen out there.”[4]
Horwitz played for the New South Wales Waratahs, the Melbourne Rebels, of the Super Rugby, and Connacht (Pro14) in between 2014 and 2020.[5] [6] In Australian domestic rugby he played for Randwick in club rugby, and the New South Wales Country Eagles, in the National Rugby Championship (NRC).
