About Scott Hastings (rugby union)
Scott Hastings (4 December 1964 – 17 May 2026) was a Scottish and British and Irish Lions rugby union player and sports summariser. He gained 65 full international caps between 1986 and 1997 and at his retirement he was Scotland's most-capped player ever. He went on two British Lions tours. He played for Edinburgh District and, when that provincial side turned professional, for Edinburgh Rugby. He maintained a strong connection with Watsonians who he first played for at an amateur level and then at the start of the professional era, eventually being their director of rugby. At the point of his retirement he was Scotland's most-capped player ever, but this record has now been beaten.
