Felipe Contepomi (born August 20 1977 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine rugby union footballer. He plays as a fly-half and centre for Leinster Rugby in Ireland, previously for Bristol Rugby in England.
Contepomi played more than 45 caps with Los Pumas, and has been occasionally its captain.
He started playing rugby for Newman, in Buenos Aires.
He recently played a major role in Leinster's run in the 2006 Heineken Cup, helping Leinster to a 41-35 win over Cup holders Toulouse, scoring 21 points in the process and winning the man of the match award. That year he was top scorer in both the Celtic League and Heineken Cup.
Largely as a result of his attacking play and characteristic panache, he has built up a cult following among many Leinster supporters.
In late January of 2006, Felipe and his wife, Paula celebrated the birth of their daughter Catarina. Felipe then cemented his legened status in the minds of all Leinster fans by lining out for the province only hours after Catarina was born.
In November 2006, Agustin Pichot, captain of Argentina, said that Contepomi was better than All Black fly-half, Dan Carter, who won the 2005 IRB Player of the Year award.
As of November 2006, he is in his final year of study at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in Dublin, where he hopes to be conferred with the medical degrees of MB BCh BAO (NUI) in June 2007.
