Fergus John Dunlea (born 25 February 1964) is an Irish former rugby union international.
Born in Dublin, Dunlea was educated at Belvedere College and is a dentist by profession.[1]
Dunlea, a fullback, was capped three times for Ireland in the 1989 Five Nations Championship, debuting against Wales in Cardiff.[2] He played for Dublin University, Lansdowne and Leinster during his career.[3] His retirement from rugby was necessitated by a series of head knocks.[4] One such instance occurred in a 1989 match for Leinster when he collided with All Blacks player Va'aiga Tuigamala and was left unconscious for 15 minutes.[5]
