Tall and wiry, Stenmark was a versatile forward and capable goal-kicker, selected by the Wallabies from Sydney University for the 1947/48 tours of the British Isles and North America. He featured in over 20 tour matches, without earning a cap, and even acted as touch judge in a fixture against the Barbarians.[2]
