Finnane, a prop, was born in Sydney and claimed a total of six international rugby caps for Australia. He was dubbed the phantom puncher, for a short right uppercut delivered to Welsh player Graham Price in a scrum during a 1978 Test match between the Wallabies and Wales at the SCG, which smashed the Welshman's jaw. The Wallaby later wrote in a book that he hit Price.
