Scott Penny

Back-row - Leinster - St Michael's College - UCD

Profile

Scott Penny's pathway runs through St Michael's College, UCD, Ireland U20 and Leinster, and his profile has been defined by try-scoring productivity from the back row. He came through one of Leinster's strongest school pathways before moving directly into the academy and quickly making himself difficult to ignore.

His early Leinster A record became part of his reputation. Penny scored eight tries in seven games during Leinster A's victorious Celtic Cup campaign, an unusual return for a forward and a clear sign of his ability to arrive in support lines and finish close to the ruck.

Ireland U20 then added another important marker. Penny was part of the 2019 Ireland U20 Six Nations Grand Slam group, a side that has become an important reference point for current Irish professional pathways. His U20 involvement sits alongside a long-running UCD link, with rugby and university life both part of his development.

By 2025/26, Penny has passed 100 Leinster appearances and remains one of the province's most productive back-row players. His profile links St Michael's College, UCD, Ireland U20 and Leinster, and sits beside the back-row pathways of Caelan Doris, Ryan Baird, Jack Conan, Josh van der Flier, Max Deegan and James Culhane.
