Graeme Donald Macdougall (born 25 January 1940) is a former Australian Rugby Union player who represented for the Wallabies twice.[2]

Early life & rugby career

Macdougall was born in Sydney and attended Newington College (1953–1958).[3] He played 63 first grade games with St George.

He played in his first Test match against Fiji in Brisbane. He toured South Africa in 1961-62 and played in the first Test at Johannesburg. He was at that time the youngest ever forward chosen to make a Wallaby tour. His brother Stuart was also an Australian rugby union representative player.

Rugby league career

In 1964, MacDougall turned to Rugby League and played for the Balmain Tigers. A knee injury cut short his career and restricted him to just two appearances for Balmain in 1964.
