Lachlan Turner
Lachlan David Turner (born 11 May 1987) is an Australian former professional rugby union player. His playing position was wing. He had a strong kicking game, which allowed him to also play at fullback. Turner has represented Australia in international Test rugby. He played Super Rugby for the New South Wales Waratahs from 2007 to 2013, before joining the Queensland Reds in 2014. Turner then joined the NSW Waratahs but tore his hamstring and had to have surgery.
Born in Sydney, Turner attended Newington College and was selected for the Australian Schoolboys rugby team in 2005.
Turner played club rugby for Eastwood, and was invited to join the Waratahs Academy in 2006 under coach Joe Barakat's guidance. He was selected for and played in the Australian Under 19 side which won the 2006 Under 19 Rugby World Championship in Dubai.
Turner made his debut for the Waratahs against Reds in the 2006 Australian Provincial Championship, and was awarded the inaugural Chris Whitaker Aspiring Waratah Award at the end of the 2006 season.
In 2007, Turner earned his first Super 14 cap for the Waratahs in round seven against the Stormers in Sydney. The highlight for Turner came against the Crusaders at Sydney Football Stadium, where he scored a solo try from his own half, beating several defenders for pace. He capped off the season by winning the 2007 Super Rugby Rookie of the Year award.
From his debut in 2007 through to the end of the 2011 season, Turner did not miss a Super Rugby match for the Waratahs – a run of 67 consecutive appearances.
Turner scored two tries in the 2008 Super 14 final against the Crusaders in Christchurch, giving the Waratahs an early 12–3 lead, but they lost structure after Kurtley Beale went off injured and the Crusaders won the match 20–12 to claim the 2008 title. In the 2010 season, he scored an intercept try against the Blues with eight minutes left, sealing the win for the Waratahs and keeping the team in top four finals contention. During 2011, he switched position from wing to centre for the first time for the Waratahs, to cover for the injured Rob Horne.
Turner sustained a hamstring tear in 2012 during a pre-season trial match for the Waratahs against Samoa, and was forced to miss all but the last two matches of the 2012 Super Rugby season. In April 2013, he had his Super Rugby ambitions derailed for the second year in a row after suffering a season ending leg break while playing Sydney club rugby for Eastwood against Manly. Turner had been in and out of the Waratahs side until then, and had earned only two Super caps for the 2013 season, in the selection battle for the Waratahs back three.
