Scott Crichton (born 18 February 1954) is a former New Zealand rugby union player.
[1] Known as a powerful scrummager, Crichton represented Wellington at the provincial level for 111 games including a successful Ranfurly Shield challenge against Waikato (22-4) in 1981 and subsequent defences in 1982 before Wellington lost the Shield to Canterbury.
He also played in the close but ultimately unsuccessful Ranfurly Shield challenge against Canterbury the following year at Lancaster Park scrumming against All Black loosehead prop, John Ashworth.
The majority of Crichton's Wellington appearances were with Brian McGrattan as his propping partner on the loosehead.
This included the tour to the United Kingdom where the All Blacks drew with Scotland 25-25 and lost to England 9-15.
