[edit] Representative career
McGregor represented the NSW Blues in fourteen State of Origin games between 1992 and 1998. He added a touch of class to the Blues backline in the 1990s with his trademark step and wonderful offloads. He was a powerful runner of the football out wide and provided a great combination with his club teammate, Blues winger Rod Wishart. McGregor scored four tries in Origin and was Man of the Match in game II of the 1997 series.
He represented the Kangaroos in four tests from 1994 to 1995 scoring three tries.
He was sidelined by a shoulder injury and so could not represent Scotland at the 2000 Rugby League World Cup[1]

He joined the Dragons coaching staff in 2002 and continues there as of 2007.
