Scott Higginbotham
Equally comfortable at Number 8 or blind side flanker, at 6ft 5in the big Australian Wallaby that never left anything on the paddock.
Retiring late 2021, Scott’s big hit on Bryan Habana in his 2008 debut with the Reds had coaches, fans and supporter sit up and take note. A big career was just starting.
With 34 Test Caps, his rugby statistics are of a well-travelled man
- 145 games – Super Rugby (Queensland Reds 100 / Melbourne Rebels 45)
- 28 games – Japanese Rugby (Green Rockets Tokatsu)
- 44 games – European Rugby (Bordeaux Begles)
A product of his Sevens background, this versatile back-rower at times made rugby look ridiculously easy. A dynamic loose forward with soft hands, Scott racked up tries or try assists in every game he played.
MC for the event: Michael Connell - Comedian
Michael performs stand-up comedy with an intellectual twist tackling big ideas like philosophy, cryptocurrency, economics and language learning while throwing in impressive juggling tricks that surprise and delight.
