- Daniel Arthur Parks (born 26 May 1978 in Hornsby, New South Wales) is an Australian rugby union player. He plays professional rugby for Glasgow Warriors and represents Scotland at fly-half. Dan Parks was brought up in Sydney, Australia and played rugby for the Eastern Suburbs RUFC, West Harbour RUFC, and Southern Districts RUFC. He also represented New South Wales at under-21 level. During his playing days in the Sydney rugby union competition, Dan broke a long standing point scoring record for the third fifteen's highest scoring replacement in a friendly game. After moving to the UK in September 2001 to pursue his professional rugby career, Dan joined Leeds Tykes. In 2003 he joined the Glasgow Warriors and has been an important attacking component of the team, although he is often criticised for a lack of consistency. Dan qualified to play for Scotland via his maternal grandmother who was born in Ayrshire, and he made his Scotland debut in February 2004 against Wales. He also played in all three 2005 Autumn tests, and his positive attitude and commitment won praise from coach Frank Hadden. Dan's fortunes improved along with those of the Scottish team who enjoyed more success in the 2005-2006 season. Despite being the choice No.10 for Scottish national coach Matt Williams and his successor Frank Hadden, he has appeared to have had a difficult time fitting into this role at the national level, particularly in the 2008 Six Nations games against England and Italy. His tactical kicking and ability to take long-range penalties are his main strong points, both for Scotland and the Glasgow Warriors, and are often cited as reasons for his continued participation in the Scottish national side. Dan was first-choice fly-half for Glasgow since he arrived, and was top points scorer for his club in every season from 2003/04 to 2006-07 seasons, scoring tries, conversions, penalties and dropgoals. . This accumulation of points means he has become the highest all-time points scorer for the club, with 773 point up to the end of 2006/07. Parks was also named Player of the Season in 2006/07. Over his Glasgow career, he has made regular appearances for the Scottish national side, including in the Six Nations and the 2007 World Cup. For his World Cup performance, Parks was voted Scotland's Player of the Tournament His uncharacteristic display on Scotland's last Six Nations (2008) game against Italy led to widespread outrage among the Scottish press, with many people believing that his poor passing caused Italy's interception. Others, however, believe that the Italian offence was off-side before the interception and not noticed by the referee. The event has caused many to call for Parks' dismissal from the Scottish side, although no reports have been made to this effect.
