Background

Campbell was born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. He qualifies for Russia via his maternal grandfather, Joseph, who was born in Brest (then Poland; modern day Belarus). The town was annexed by Russia following the First World War. The family moved to Australia when his mother Maria Paulina Kaminski (now Maree Campbell) was four years old. [3] [4]

Playing career

Campbell was also selected from the Redcliffe Dolphins to play for the Russian national side during the 2000 World Cup, qualifying for the Bears via the grandparent rule. [5] Campbell grubber-kicked for Russia's only try, scored by Matt Donovan, in their Test match against Australia, a game that ended in a record 110–4 defeat for the Russians. According to commentator Andrew Voss, author of Stuff You May Have Missed, the Russian mafia allegedly offered Campbell and Donovan huge sums of money in exchange for agreeing to play for the Russian national team in the tournament.
