Early life

Hines attended Berkeley Vale Community High School from 1989–1994 and was a regular feature in the school's first XIII Rugby League Team. He played his club football for the Berkeley Vale Panthers Junior Rugby League Club and was part of the club's first ever Premiership winning side (U/15s – defeated Woy Woy in 1991) playing alongside future NRL player Paul Stringer.

Playing for Scotland

After winning league and cup titles with Gala RFC, he made his Test debut for Scotland in New Zealand but two serious injuries claimed nearly 18 months of his career. He became the first Scotland player to be sent off in a Test match when he was dismissed against the USA Eagles in 2002 for punching replacement hooker/flanker Dan Anderson. He was a big part of the Scotland squad for the 2003 Rugby World Cup.

In the Six Nations game against Wales at Murrayfield on 13 March 2005, Hines came on in the second half and helped restore some pride, but his try was disallowed for lack of grounding. He was alleged to be discontented with the Scotland coaches (Matt Williams and Willie Anderson) and declared his retirement from international rugby. However, with the firing of the previous coaching regime and the appointment of his previous club coach, Frank Hadden, as Scotland coach, Hines returned to playing international rugby.[1] He made his reappearance as a substitute in the 2006 Six Nations win over England at Murrayfield.

On 9th November 2011 Hines announced his retirement from international rugby with immediate effect.[2] the move means he started and ended his Scotland career at Eden Park, New Zealand, Earning a total of 77 caps during that time.

Club career

He moved from Edinburgh to Perpignan in the 2005 off season.

His time at Perpignan came to an end due to his refusal to play for them in the latter stages of the French Championship in order to tour South Africa with the British and Irish Lions.

On 4 July 2009 it was reported in the French media that Hines will be joining 2008/09 Heineken European Cup winners Leinster for the 2009/10 season.[3] Hines became a regular starter and a crowd favourite for Heineken European Cup winners Leinster.

Hines signed for Clermont Auvergne in 2011.[4]
