Ross Ford Biography
Ross William Ford (born 23 April 1984) is a Strength and Conditioning coach for the Scottish Rugby Academy.. He was previously a Scotland international rugby union player who played as a hooker. He made 110 test appearances for Scotland, their most-capped male player. He has played in three World Cups; in 2007, 2011 and 2015. He played professional rugby for Border Reivers (2002–2007) and Edinburgh between 2007 and 2019.
Ford was a member of the Commonwealth Games Scotland 7s squad at Manchester in 2002.
In May 2002 Ford signed for Border Reivers, before he had finished school.
Ford was first capped by the Scotland senior side in the 2004 Abbey Autumn Tests against Australia at Murrayfield, making his second appearance over a year later, coming on as a replacement against Wales in the 2006 RBS 6 Nations. After one further appearance against England he missed the 2006 summer tour to South Africa through a knee injury but returned to the Scotland squad in the 2007–08 season.
He was named in Scotland’s Rugby World Cup 2007 squad, and became the first choice hooker after the previous #1 hooker Dougie Hall pulled out of the whole World Cup altogether with injury. In his first match at the tournament he came on as a replacement against Portugal and scored his first try for Scotland.
He made his first start in the RBS 6 Nations Championship in Scotland’s final match of the 2007 competition, away to France. He followed that up by winning plaudits for his line out throwing and play in both tight and loose in Scotland’s World Cup warm-up victory against Ireland.
After the Reivers disbandment in the summer of 2007, Ford was left without a club. He initially signed for the Glasgow Warriors in August 2007 but on 18 October 2007 it was announced that he had been transferred to Edinburgh who were back under the Scottish Rugby Union’s control in that year.
In 2009, he was selected for the British & Irish Lions as a replacement for Jerry Flannery. He played for 50 minutes in the third test and was Scotland’s only representative in the three test matches of that tour. Ford was the captain of the Scotland Team for the 2012 Six Nations Championship and the 2012 mid-year rugby test series.
In 2011 he appeared on cereal boxes for Scott’s Porage Oats along with Chris Paterson and Thom Evans.
In June 2014 he made his 76th appearance and overtook Gordon Bulloch as Scotland’s most-capped hooker. In August 2015 he won his 88th cap against Italy, overtaking Scott Murray as Scotland’s most capped forward. His one hundredth cap came against Australia in November 2016, with only two other Scots previously having gained 100 caps- Chris Paterson and Sean Lamont.
He made his 150th appearance for Edinburgh in December 2015.
On 24 June 2017 Ford made his 110th test appearance for Scotland and overtook Chris Paterson as the most capped Scot.
On 27 June 2019 it was announced that Ford was retired from playing rugby. Instead he took a role as a Strength and Conditioning coach at the Scottish Rugby Academy.
