About Sam Scott-Young

Born 1967. Sam Scott-Young is an Australian rugby union player.

Biography Scott-Young, a native of Townsville, is the son of Queensland state politician Norman Scott-Young. He finished his schooling at Marist College Ashgrove and was a member of an Australian Schools side which finished a northern hemisphere tour undefeated. A backrow forward, he started his first-grade career with Brisbane club Souths, before making his debut for Queensland in 1987.

Between 1990 and 1992, Scott-Young was capped seven times for the Wallabies. After starting his career with home Tests against France and the United States, he gained a place on the 1990 tour of New Zealand, where his performance as flanker in a win over the All Blacks in Wellington earned him man of the match honours. He played in a Bledisloe Cup series win when the All Blacks visited in 1992, featuring in all three Tests, with his act of winking at his opposing forwards during the haka at Ballymore often remembered.

A ruptured disc below his neck forced Scott-Young into retirement in 1994.
