It’s hard to believe it’s been a decade since the Western Force ran out for their first Super 14 competition in 2006.

This year the team celebrates their 10th season and, amongst the Force Foundation squad members, one individual who has been there since the very beginning is Wallaby number 757, Scott Staniforth.

Born in the NSW country town of West Wyalong, Scott made his Super Rugby debut for the Waratahs in 1998, the same year he was called up to the Wallabies for their tour of France and England.

He was part of Australia’s Rugby World Cup winning side a year later in 1999 where he scored two tries in his Test debut against the USA.

“It was amazing. It was obviously a great era of Australian rugby and great to be part of,” Scott said.

“Being the youngest, and one of my first tours, you probably don’t appreciate what a big feat the boys achieved.

“Now looking back on it, it was definitely a highlight of my career.”
