Chris Czekaj (pronounced 'Check-aye') (born December 14, 1985) is a Welsh rugby union player, who plays on the wing for Cardiff Blues and Wales. He scored a try on his Wales debut (vs Canada) in June 2005, having only come into the Cardiff Blues side a month earlier, after a starring role in the Grand Slam winning Wales Under 21 side.
The name Czekaj comes from his Polish grandfather, who settled in Wales following World War II.[citation needed] His nickname amongst Welsh rugby supporters is '28', referring to the score his name would earn if played in a game of Scrabble.[citation needed]
On June 2, 2007 he suffered a broken leg in the second test match against Australia, thus ruling him out of the 2007 Rugby World Cup.[1]
