Nathan Lawson, a two-time Olympian for Australia in the Sevens Rugby, is set to compete in his final tournament this weekend at the HSBC Cape Town 7s. The skilled forward, recognized as Australia Sevens Player of the Year, is reportedly transitioning to the National Rugby League, where he will join the St George Illawarra Dragons.
At just 25 years old, Lawson has had an impressive career with Australia Sevens, participating in 144 matches and scoring 70 tries in tournaments. His journey in Sevens rugby took a significant turn when he was unexpectedly called up to the Australian squad for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to replace an injured teammate, Henry Paterson. Since then, he has made a notable impact on the field.
As Lawson prepares to bid farewell to Sevens rugby, fans and teammates alike celebrate his contributions to the sport and look forward to his next chapter in the National Rugby League. His career serves as an inspiration for young athletes, demonstrating that opportunities can arise unexpectedly and lead to significant achievements.
