Craig Minto Chalmers (born 15 October 1968) is a former Scottish rugby union footballer for Melrose and former coach of the club. He coached Esher for a couple of years from 2013-2015, but at present is not involved in coaching.
As a player, he represented Scotland, the British Lions and the Barbarians at international level. He was capped 60 times for Scotland, 56 times in his preferred position of fly-half, but on occasion at centre and once as a substitute on the right wing. He was noted for his tactical kicking, support play, game management, & tackling which was something that fly halves of his time were not noted for.
Club career
He finished his playing career in March 2005 as captain and player-coach with Melrose, where his club career began. In the interim, he also played for Worcester Warriors, Harlequins, and the Pertemps Bees.
Family
His sister Paula Chalmers played for the Scottish Women's rugby team and achieved an even higher number of caps.[1]
