Peter Robert Ian Scott (born 1 January 1940) is an Australian former rugby union international.
Scott was born in Bombay and raised in Canberra, attending Telopea Park Secondary School.[1]
A Canberra Royals centre, Scott was a renowned goal-kicker in ACT rugby.[2] He was a representative player for the ACT, NSW and NSW Country. His role in a win for New South Wales over the visiting All Blacks in 1962 saw him selected by the Wallabies for the 1st Test in Brisbane, as outside centre.
