"John Jeffrey" is a Scottish former international rugby union player. His nicknames are "The Great White Shark" and "JJ", the former widely thought to be because of his blonde "thatch of hair", though in a recent book called 'The Grudge' by Tom English, it is a nickname that was given to him because of his very white skin.

Richard Bath has described him as "one of the most galvanising sights in Six Nations Championship/Five Nations rugby throughout the 1980s and early 1990s."

Jeffrey was educated at St Mary's School in Melrose, Scotland/Melrose and Merchiston Castle School. He won forty caps for Scotland between 1984 and 1991, making him, at the time, Scotland's most capped Flanker (rugby union)/flanker. He was also a British and Irish Lion with Scotland team mate Finlay Calder in 1989.

Jeffrey's "day job" was his Borders farm, of which he had only one regret: "If I stand on a hill I can see England."

The result last season lets us see what is possible. We know it will be hard. But we showed huge improvement against Wales and could have won the match.
