Jesse Coulson (born January 6, 1977) is a New Zealand-born former international rugby union player.
Coulson was born to an American mother in Auckland. His father, New Zealand musician Clive Coulson, was a tour manager with Led Zeppelin, whose lead singer Robert Plant is Jesse's godfather.[1]
Educated at Eastbourne College, Coulson was uncapped at international level when called up to Jack Clark's United States squad for the 1999 Rugby World Cup, as the back up to scrum-half Kevin Dalzell. He came on off the bench in their final pool match against the Wallabies at Thomond Park, Limerick, to play opposite George Gregan, in what would be his only appearance for the United States.[2]
