Lachie Anderson

An outside back for the Queensland Reds, Lachie Anderson brings genuine pace and a direct running threat to Super Rugby Pacific. Born in 1997, he operates across the back three, where his strong finishing and willingness to take on defenders make him a dangerous option in attack. Anderson's acceleration allows him to exploit space out wide, while his aerial work and positioning under the high ball contribute to the Reds' last line of defence. Equally comfortable chasing kicks and inserting into the attacking line, he offers the kind of versatility and athleticism that modern back-three play demands, and his footwork at the line gives the Reds a counter-attacking outlet from deep. Capable of covering more than one position across the back three, he adds welcome flexibility to a matchday squad. A consistent contributor within the Reds' set-up, Anderson continues to stake his claim as a reliable attacking weapon and a dependable presence at the back.
