Representative Career
Under Gould as State coach, Mackay made his representative debut for New South Wales on the wing in game I of the 1992 Rugby League State of Origin series. He also played in game II of 1991, game III of 1993 and game I of 1994 regularly competing for a wing spot against Andrew Ettingshausen. Despite his goal-kicking ability and strong bursts down the flank, his representative form was inconsistent and he was dropped after the Blues' game I loss of 1994.
In 1992 he made his Australian national debut in a Test match against Papua New Guinea in Townsville. Mackay scored two tries in a man-of-the-match performance on debut. He was chosen in Australia's World Cup squad at year's end, he did not play in the final.
In the 2000 World Cup competition Mackay represented Scotland.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
