Beau Scott (born 15 May 1984) is an Australian rugby league player for the St. George Illawarra Dragons in the NRL. His position of choice is at second row, however due to his versatility can also play in the centres.
Scott made his first grade debut for the Cronulla Sharks in 2005 where he was booked for a high tackle on Melbourne Storm hooker Cameron Smith. He played 28 games for the club before moving to the Dragons in 2007.
While originally not selected, he was selected for Country in the City vs Country match on 8 May 2009, due to injury to another player.[1] He was ruled out of 2010 City Country due to injury.
Scott's State of Origin debut for New South Wales in Game II was subject to media-wide publicity, as he was the subject of a racial controversy involving their assistant coach Andrew Johns. Johns had allegedly instructed Scott to "shut that black c*** down" (this in reference to Queensland centre Greg Inglis) which triggered teammate Timana Tahu's exit from the NSW camp.
Following star centre and former Dragons captain Mark Gasnier's return to the club from a stint in French rugby union, Dragons coach Wayne Bennett shifted Scott to the second-row (he had been filling in in his uncustomary position at centre superbly) to make way for Gasnier. Scott played in the Dragons' 2010 NRL Grand Final-winning team, playing in the second row.
Scott played as a member of the losing New South Wales State of Origin side in Game 1 of 2011. Beau was selected in the Australian squad to tour England for the 2011 Rugby League Four Nations as a replacement for Glenn Stewart.[2]
