ormer Scotland hooker
Stevie Scott is looking
forward to working with
Graham Steadman once more, having
joined London Scottish as Forwards
Coach ahead of the new season.
Scott, who joins the Exiles from
Utah Warriors, the Major League
Rugby franchise who offered him an
opportunity having been let go by
Edinburgh Rugby when Richard Cockerill
took over as Head Coach there.
The 45-year-old former Scotland hooker
boasts an impressive playing CV. having
been born in Gala before signing
professionally with the Capital club,
for whom he made 99 appearances.
After a playing career, that included 11
caps for Scotland, debuting in Auckland
in 2000 against New Zealand, Scott
decided to move into coaching and use
the skills he had learned during his career.
Scott began his coaching with
Selkirk before spending three years
at the Scottish Rugby Academy.
Sale Sharks then came calling in 2010,
where he stayed for two years before he


made the step up to international
coaching with the Scottish National
side in 2013 as an assistant coach.
It was during his time with Scotland
that Scott worked with Steadman.
Scott will now guide the Scottish forwards
for the 2019/20 Championship season
and will look to bring some bite to a new
forward pack with the likes of Alex Toolis
and Kyle Whyte - both of whom were on
the books during Scott’s time at Edinburgh


  • joining re-signed players such as Phil
    Cringle, Mark Bright and Lewis Wynne.


Scott has been looking forward to the
challenge that coaching at Scottish poses.
He said: “I am pleased to have joined
London Scottish as forwards coach and
am excited by the challenges of this squad
and the rigours of the Championship.
“It will be good to work with Graham
again after our time together with
Scotland and I believe together we can
push the club in the right direction.”
London Scottish President, and
former Scotland internationalist,
Paul Burnell, is thrilled that Stevie
has decided to join Scottish.
He added: “Stevie joining London Scottish
shows our intent for the upcoming season.
“I remember Stevie well from our playing
days and I am certain the qualities he
showed then will help the development
of our players in this year’s squad.
“I am personally extremely excited about
Stevie and Graham working together
with our young and ambitious squad.”
