Kane Douglas has risen as a Test performer during 2012. The 2.01 metre tall second rower was propelled into the Test XV for the match against Argentina on the Gold Coast as part of the inaugural Castrol EDGE Rugby Championship. Douglas featured in the remaining three Tests of the Rugby Championship which helped him secure his ticket for the 2012 Spring Tour.
Establishing a Test place was the logical next step in the career of the 23-year-old, who has been a regular figure for the NSW Waratahs since his debut four years ago.
Douglas made an immediate impact in his first Super Rugby season in 2010, earning selection for the Australian Barbarians side that played a two-match midweek series against England at the end of that tournament. Further recognition was gained when he was included among the train on squad for the 2010 Spring Tour, but it has taken him another two seasons of hard toil to crack the international stage.
He was included in the Qantas Wallabies training squad for the June Tests and then featured at both of the national training camps that were held prior to The Castrol EDGE Rugby Championship, subsequently edging out the Melbourne Rebels tyros Hugh Pyle and Cadeyrn Neville for a position among the chosen 30, leading to his Test debut.
