Alan Tait made six appearances during the successful 1997 Tour of South Africa.
He played in two Tests, famously scoring a try in the first match as the Lions won 25–16 in Cape Town. He also played in the second Test match, which saw the Lions clinch the series after a dramatic 18–15 victory in Durban.
Tait played 27 times for Scotland scoring 17 tries. He certainly would have played and scored more had it not been for eight years playing club rugby league for Widnes and Leeds, as well as representing Great Britain and Scotland as a dual-code international.
