'I've got pretty strong ambitions to one day play for my country' - Angus Scott-Young gets chance to start in Reds backrow
By AAP
Angus Scott-Young has overcome his own injury horror story and now stands to benefit from one of his good mate's setbacks by filling the void left by Liam Wright at the Queensland Reds.
The backrower has found himself stuck in the backrow queue at Ballymore with highly-rated trio Wright, Fraser McReight and Harry Wilson potentially set to serve as the Wallabies' long-term No.6, No.7 and No.8.
But Wright's ankle injury in their only trial game will see him out for at least the first two months of the Super Rugby AU season which begins on Friday when the Reds host the NSW Waratahs.
Scott-Young has been named at No.6, fit again after an off-season marred by a serious knee injury that was followed by a skin infection that required a two-week hospital stint, severely inflamed tonsils and finally a tonsil bleed once they were removed.
"But since then my luck's changed," a grinning Scott-Young told AAP.
"Liam's one of my good mates but injuries are a part of rugby and I'm stoked to get more game time and show what I can do.
"I've got pretty strong ambitions to one day play for my country and a lot of boys (at the Reds) have been ticking that off.
"I'd love to play the French (in home Tests later this year); they're red-hot and at a packed Suncorp Stadium it would be unreal."
The son of former Wallaby Sam, Scott-Young plays with his father's passion but has focused on refining his pilfering and ball-carrying technique this preseason.
"It's a great opportunity for him because he's a very good footballer, but it's a pretty tough trio behind Wright, Wilson and Fraser," Reds coach Brad Thorn said of his backrow options.
"But you've got Angus too; it's very competitive there and there's many different ways to get opportunities and he'll get plenty this year in that No.6.
"He's a leader in the team and will offer a lot for us."

As an artist, I’ve always been focused on my creative pursuits and never really ventured into the world of high-risk financial investments. But, like many others, I was drawn to the idea of making money quickly through Forex trading. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a Forex scam and lost a large portion of my savings. The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. I felt betrayed, and hopeless, and wasn’t sure where to turn next. One day, while browsing through Red Note, a platform where people connect over shared experiences, I came across a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They shared how they managed to recover their lost funds through a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Desperate for a solution, I decided to reach out to them and explain what had happened to me. I was initially skeptical, unsure whether this was just another scam or if it could be the real deal. To my surprise, the team at Tech Cyber Force Recovery was professional, compassionate, and genuinely interested in helping. They listened carefully to my story and assured me that they had the expertise and resources to help recover my lost funds. The process would take time, they said, and I’d need to provide some documentation, but they were confident that they could help. After several conversations and a thorough investigation, they started working on my case. The results were incredible. Within a relatively short period, Tech Cyber Force Recovery managed to recover nearly all of the funds I had lost. It wasn’t an easy process, and it required patience, but the team’s dedication, attention to detail, and methodical approach paid off. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. What had once seemed like a permanent loss was now being reversed, thanks to the help of Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Not only did the recovery restore my financial situation, but it also restored my sense of trust and confidence. I had almost given up hope, but now, with my funds recovered, I feel like I can move forward. I’ve learned valuable lessons from this experience, and I’m more cautious about my financial decisions in the future. What began as a desperate search on Red Note turned into a life-changing recovery. Thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, I now feel more hopeful about my financial future, with the knowledge that recovery is possible.telegram (@)techcyberforc texts (+1 5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7)
