True but the International match fees will ease the thought of having to be forced to eat Porridge every day whilst in Scottish Camp 🍚🍚🍚!😝😝😉! Let’s wait and see...

IMO very obvious. People whose family emigrated from the old country have huge sentiments about their history and background. He would jump at at the opportunity.

What manner? He's Scottish qualified... he's going to play for Scotland. It's obvious
I still wake up late at night and think of what might have been when tim stimpson hit that jammy penalty1

Regan king was asked when at his best, if he didn't have his 1 cap would he play for Wales.
If said no, I'm a kiwi.
Time will tell


Regan king would have played for wales if he hadn't had the ab cap.

 
Yes. I am pretty sure about that. I am trying to think of a foreign player over here who has not accepted the opportunity to play for his adopted country.

It would be more than a little ironic if he to took Barclay's place in the Scottish side.

I think we’ll definitely have him for Autumn 18. Have to see how much he shines with us first to get into contention for test rugby.
We're still still here, but I wish we were in an Anglo-Welsh

Even if he wants to play for Scotland it will not happen overnight and he will still be with us most of the time.

commonsense would say he would jump at international honours in a professional career. I don’t think we need to check with Steff on this tbh ! It’s certainly his only clear chance . A nuisance for us but Wayne obviously sees him as being worth it to us.

 
well said sir
 
of course he's gonna play for Scotland if he get's the chance
 
once he has left NZ that's his chance of an ab cap.
 
playing test rugby increases his profile, his salary and gives him a chance to play vs the world's best players on the biggest stages.
 
 
Absolutely right. Don’t think Steff needs taking to task on this.

He’s Scottish qualified and we’ve done well to get him rather than Glasgow or Edinburgh.

Clearly a top quality player who should be a huge asset for us and for Scotland.
