Early life and family

Scott was born in Nelson in 1991, the son of former All Blacks halfback Stephen Scott, and was educated at Nelson College from 2002 to 2009. [2]

Rugby union career

ITM Cup

Scott began his senior career in 2011 with his local team, the Tasman Makos. An impressive debut ITM Cup season saw him named in the Crusaders wider training group for the 2012 Super Rugby season, however injury hampered him throughout 2012 and he didn't make any Super Rugby or ITM Cup appearances that year. 2013 was much more successful for Scott as he scored 5 tries in 11 matches for the Makos to help them gain promotion to the ITM Cup Premiership Division. [3] The Makos good form continued into 2014 and Scott made 9 appearances to help the men from Nelson reach the final of the ITM Cup Premiership where they went down 36-32 to Taranaki. [4] Despite this disappointment, Scott was signed to a Super Rugby contract by Australian franchise the Western Force ahead of the 2015 Super Rugby season. [1] [5]

International

Scott was a member of the New Zealand Under 20 side that won the 2011 IRB Junior World Championship in Italy. [6]
