Louis Werchon (born 25 October 2002) is an Australian professional rugby union player currently playing for the Queensland Reds in the Super Rugby as a Scrum-half.
Louis Werchon was born in the Sunshine Coast suburb of Nambour in Australia's north-eastern state of Queensland. [1] Sunshine Coast Grammar product, Werchon was a Junior Wallaby and played his early rugby for the Maroochydore Swans. [2] He featured in a reserves premiership with Brothers in 2022, kicking the grand final-winning field goal. [3]
Werchon joined the Queensland Reds during their 2023 Super Rugby Pacific campaign and missed out on a possible debut off the bench when he was dropped by coach Brad Thorn for arriving late. He was retained by the Reds in 2024 and got another opportunity when scrum-half Tate McDermott received a three-week suspension, subsequently making his debut in their Round 9 win over the Highlanders at Lang Park.
