Shaun Longstaff

Back to last page

Shaun's honours include,

• Scotland A
• Scotland

Shaun arrived in Dundee intending to play for a season but fate intervened and an injury delayed his return home to New Zealand. Shaun became an established member of DHSFP, settled in Scotland and the rest is history.

A former New Zealand under-19 and under-21 trialist, Shaun won representative honours with Wellington, playing in the 1992 Super 10 competition against Queensland, New South Wales and Fiji before arriving in Dundee.

Drafted into the Caley Reds in the Pro Era's first season, Shaun, Scotland qualified by dint of residency, soon caught the national selectors' eyes. Capped six times for Scotland A, full honours swiftly followed with the first of 15 Scotland caps on 21 Feb 1998 against France.

Currently playing for Borders, Shaun has also played professional rugby for Glasgow and Castres.
