Craig James Smith (born 30 August, 1978) is a professional rugby union player for Edinburgh Rugby in Scotland. He is one of Edinburgh's most experienced players.

Career

Craig Smith played in all three Test matches on Scotland’s 2004 summer tour to Australia, all three autumn Test games in 2005, and came on as a replacement in every Scotland game in the 2006 RBS Six Nations Championship.

Previously, he played in both Test matches on Scotland’s 2002 tour of North America. Before the tour he had played at loose-head prop in the non-cap match against the Barbarians, but he lined up on the right of the scrum when he started matches on the tour. He first appeared for the Scottish national side as a substitute in the non-cap game against the Barbarians in May 2001.

He won his first Scotland A cap during the 2000-2001 season against Italy and has played 10 times at that level. He also played for the Stoke club in New Zealand’s South Island and was selected for Nelson Bays against Scotland during the national team’s 2000 summer tour. On his return to Scotland in 2000 he was contracted by Edinburgh. Craig has represented Scotland at all age-grade levels and was in the Scotland under-19 squad who beat England in 1997. The former pupil of Berwick County High School has also played for Scottish Students, Scotland Development XV and the Scottish Co-optimists. Before a stint with Melrose RFC, Craig played his club rugby at Berwick RFC.
