Ben Alexander (born 13 November 1984) is an Australian Rugby Union player for the Brumbies in the Super 14 competition.
Alexander made his Brumbies debut in round 3 of the 2008 Super 14 Season off the bench in round three against the Queensland Reds, scoring a try to the delight of the Brumbies home crowd. He went on to play six games off the bench in that season. When the Wallaby squad was named by knew coach Robbie Deans Alexander was a surprise bolter for the squad after only playing six games for the Brumbies and made his test debut against France in Sydney.
Alexander attended Knox Grammar in Sydney until 2002. He played his colts rugby with the UC Owls in Canberra where he was selected to play for the Australian U21 and the Brumby Runners.
Alexander's rise to fame came during the now defunct ARC competiton where he played for the West Sydney Rams. Ben starred in the competition with team mates Kurtly Beale, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Lachie Turner and Josh Holmes.
Alexander earned the nickname Kernal Cluck after eating an enormous chicken burger in record time at a fast-food shop in Bathurst, NSW. The store owner was so impressed with his effort he took a picture of him which hung on the wall for next year.
