Nathan Hines is an Australian-born rugby player who plays at lock for Edinburgh Rugby and the Scotland national rugby union team. A former rugby league player from Wagga Wagga in Australia, Nathan turned up in Galashiels for an initial six-month visit in 1998. After winning league and cup titles with Gala R.F.C. , he made his Test debut in New Zealand but two serious injuries claimed nearly 18 months of his career. He also suffered the ignominy of becoming the first Scotland player to be sent off in a Test match when he was dismissed against the US in 2002.
In the Six Nations game against Wales at Murrayfield on March 13, 2005 Nathan came on in the second half and helped restore some pride, but his try was disallowed for lack of grounding. He is moving from Edinburgh to Perpignan in the off season.
