About Scott Hamilton (rugby union)
- Scott Elliot Hamilton (born 4 March 1980 in Christchurch, New Zealand) is a New Zealand rugby union footballer.
- He was a player-coach at Coventry RFC in SSE National League 1.
- He previously played for the Leicester Tigers in the Aviva Premiership, Crusaders in Super Rugby and Canterbury in the NPC.
- He can play both on the wing or at fullback.
- He is currently Director of Rugby for National 2 North side Hinckley RFC. Unlike many of his peers, Hamilton did not feature in age group teams in his development years.
- In fact, while at school at Christchurch Boys' High School, Hamilton could not make his first XV, instead playing in the third XV.
- However, with his skill set, and at the end of the Crusaders and Canterbury backlines, it was considered by most rugby pundits to be a formality that he would eventually go on to higher honours – a point alluded to by his nickname FABSH (Future All Black Scott Hamilton).
- Indeed, it was a surprise to many that it took as long as it did for him to be named in the All Black squad for the first time.
- He was named in the All Blacks squad to play Ireland.
- All Blacks coach Graham Henry said of Hamilton's All Black selection, "We like the way he anticipates, he's got a good feel for the game in the back three.
- He reads the play well.
- He's got a huge work rate and he's deserved of selection".Due to an injury to All Black wing Sitiveni Sivivatu, Hamilton was promoted from the bench of the 2006 mid-year series against Ireland, to the starting 15 for the Argentina test.
- This was Hamilton's All Black début, and he celebrated it by scoring a match winning try in the second half. Hamilton signed a contract with Leicester Tigers in 2008.After joining Coventry on loan in February 2015, Hamilton signed permanently for the 2015–16 season.
- Scott then joined Hinckley RFC at the start of 2016/17 season as a player/coach and played a key role in keeping the side in National 2 North at the first attempt, despite becoming known for conceding cynical yellow cards to give himself 10 minutes rest.
- He did however roll back the years in the final game of the season against Harrogate stepping two men and accelerating away to score only his second try of the season.
- Now a retired player, he is concentrating on his director of Rugby role at Hinckley. He also plays cricket at Kibworth CC.
