About David Hillhouse

David William Hillhouse (born 13 July 1955) is an Australian former rugby union international.
Born in Brisbane and educated at Anglican Church Grammar School, Hillhouse was a second-row forward, regarded as a line-out specialist due to his exceptional jumping skills. He played for Brisbane's GPS club.
Hillhouse, a pilot by profession, was capped 16 times for the Wallabies, making his debut on the 1975–76 tour of Britain as a number eight, but otherwise spending his international career as a lock.
