Palmer played a total of 17 games for Canada, including 3 matches in the 1987 Rugby World Cup, where he scored the first try against Tonga, as well as 3 matches in the 1991 Rugby World Cup.[2]

He also coached the 1994 UBC Old Boys Ravens squad which won its fifth provincial title against Cowichan with some supporters even taking a helicopter to the game on Vancouver Island and briefly hovering overhead to catch a bird’s-eye view. In 2001, Palmer coached Canada Under-17 and Canada Sevens.[3] Currently, he coaches the St. George's School sevens team.[4]
