Nick Phipps (born 9 January 1989 in Baulkham Hills, New South Wales) is a national representative rugby union footballer who currently plays for the Waratahs in the Super Rugby competition.

Early career

Phipps playing for the Rebels in 2011.

Phipps was educated at The King's School and in 2009 captained Sydney University's Premiership-winning 1st Colts team.[1]

Super Rugby

Rebels

Phipps signed to the Melbourne Rebels in July, 2010.[1] Phipps mentors for the 2011 Super Rugby season included former Wallaby halfback Sam Cordingley.[2] Phipps said he was looking forward to learning from his fellow halfbacks, Cordingley, and Kingi, and also from Rebels centre (and former Wallaby) Julian Huxley.[1]

In May 2012 Phipps combined with Kurtley Beale in the halves (9 & 10) against the Bulls from South Africa.[3] Beale had been moved from fullback to flyhalf following Danny Cipriani's unexpected departure from the Rebels.[4] Phipps scored a try under the posts.[5]

Waratahs

Phipps moved back to Sydney to play for the Waratahs commencing 2014.[6][7]

Rebels coach Damien Hill said, "Nick has played a major part in laying the foundations of this Club and it is disappointing to see him leave. He replicates our team ethos in everything he does, both on and off the rugby field."[8]

Representative career

He played for Australia in the 2009 IRB Sevens World Series.[1] His grandfather and great uncle, both called Jim, played for the Wallabies.[9]

Phipps played in the Australian Sevens at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, in Delhi.[10] He scored a try and kicked eight conversions in his Games' debut.[1][11] Australia went on to win Silver, losing the final to New Zealand.[10]

In late 2010 Phipps toured with the Wallabies,[12] and was named on the bench against the Leicester Tigers.[13] In August 2011 Phipps became one of three halfbacks selected for the Wallabies in the 2011 Rugby World Cup.[14][15] Phipps played 26 minutes for the Wallabies against Russia.[16] He was one of three Rebels to play in the tournament, the others being new signings James O'Connor and Kurtley Beale.[17]
