Son of Mortimer Stephens who played for St Helens and Bradford Northern in the 1930s. Owen Stephens came to Australia from Wellington in 1970. A former All Black, the huge, hard-running centre trialled with the St George Rugby League club but after failing to gain a contract, had to wait 12 months to be reinstated into the amateur ranks. Stephens played RU for St George in 1971 before representing the Wallabies in 5 RU Tests against Wales, Tonga and NZ (thus becoming one of only three former All Blacks to play against NZ). He joined Parramatta in 1975, scoring a club record-equalling four tries in a game against Souths before joining Wakefield Trinity in England.
