Biography
Marsh was born in Rotorua and is the identical twin brother of France international Tony Marsh.
A flanker, Marsh was a Counties Manukau player and had three Super 12 seasons with the Chiefs. He made representative appearances for New Zealand A and NZ Maori.
Marsh left New Zealand in 2001 to ply his trade in Japanese professional rugby with NEC Green Rockets.
In 2007, Marsh made his way into the John Kirwan-coached Japan national team and was capped three times, until it was discovered that his previous New Zealand A matches made him ineligible, putting him out of World Cup contention.
