Duncan Michael Hall (born 16 March 1956) is a former Australian rugby union player who played for the Australian national rugby team, earning fifteen caps for the Wallabies. His primary positions were Number 8 and 2nd Row. His post rugby resume includes an impressive list of coaching positions ranging from Super 12 to international teams. Hall's father, Duncan Hall, Sr., was a former rugby league player for Australia, and is considered one of the greatest players of the 20th Century.
Hall was a standout athlete at St Joseph's College, Nudgee and made his senior rugby debut with the University of Queensland Rugby Club in 1975, at the age of 19. Between 1975 and 1983, Hall would play in 75 games for Queensland.
In 1979, Hall's reputation playing for Queensland earned him a reserve spot on the Wallabies for Test matches against Ireland and New Zealand, and later a spot on the Wallaby team to tour Argentina.
He made his international debut for Australia as the starting Number 8 in a 22-9 win over Fiji in Suva on 24 May 1980. In 1982, Hall was named vice captain of the Wallaby squad to tour New Zealand and would go on to captain Australia twice more.
Between 1979 and 1983, Hall would play in a total of 39 matches for Australia, including 15 Test matches, and six Bledisloe Cups.
His final Test match was Australia's 29-7 win over Italy on 22 October 1983. Hall opted to remain in Italy after being dropped from the roster that would play France. After a brief time playing club rugby there, Hall returned to Australia to pursue a career in coaching.
