Stuart Grant Macdougall (born 1 June 1947) is a former Australian Rugby Union player who represented for the Wallabies eight times.[1]

Early life

Macdougall was born in Sydney and attended Newington College (1955–1966).[2] He played his early club Rugby with St George.

Representative career

At the age of twenty-three, MacDougall was selected to represent New South Wales against Queensland. The following year he played in his first test match against South Africa against a back drop of anti-apartheid demonstrations. On this occasion he marked the Springbok captain Hannes Marais. He toured England in 1973-74 and played three tests against New Zealand in 1974. He played his three final tests against England, two at home in 1975 and once on the 1975-76 Australia rugby union tour of Britain and Ireland.

His brother Graeme was also an Australian rugby union representative player whose club career was played at St George.
