Vaughan, born in Newcastle, attended Marist Brothers Hamilton and grew up playing rugby league, before picking up rugby union at the local Waratahs club. He was an Australia under-21s captain for a tour of New Zealand.[1]
A scrum-half, Vaughan was capped five times for the Wallabies in 1983 forming a half-back partnership with Mark Ella and made his debut against the United States in Sydney. After a home Test against Argentina, in which he had to be substituted off with concussion, Vaughan gained a further three caps on the end of year tour of Italy and France.[2] By 1984 he found himself out of favour due to the emergence of Nick Farr-Jones.[3]
