Young and talented rugby player, Patrick Harrison, from Peeblesshire, has been selected to join Scotland’s squad for the upcoming Americas Tour this summer. Despite his lack of experience at the international level, the 21-year-old hooker has caught the eye of Scotland head coach, Gregor Townsend, and has earned a well-deserved place in the team.
Harrison, who previously played for Peebles and has been showcasing his skills with Edinburgh A in the Super Series matches, has become the youngest hooker ever to represent Edinburgh Rugby. His remarkable achievement has garnered praise from his former club, Peebles RFC, who commended him on his selection for the national squad. As one of the 10 uncapped players in the 37-man squad, Harrison will have the opportunity to prove himself on the international stage as Scotland prepares to take on Canada, USA, Chile, and Uruguay.
In addition to Harrison, fellow Borders players Rory Sutherland and Glen Young have also secured spots in the team, highlighting the region’s contribution to Scottish rugby. The Americas Tour will kick off in North America with a match against Canada in Ottawa, followed by a game against the USA in Washington DC. The tour will then move to South America, where Scotland will face off against Chile before ending the tour in Uruguay.
Fans in the UK and Ireland can catch all the action from the Americas Tour as the games will be broadcast live. It presents a fantastic opportunity for rugby enthusiasts to witness the emergence of promising talent like Patrick Harrison, as well as to support the Scottish national team on the global stage.
We anticipate that Harrison and his teammates will make the most of this exciting opportunity and showcase their skills in the forthcoming matches. The Americas Tour promises to be a thrilling experience for both the players and the fans, and we are looking forward to witnessing some top-quality rugby action as Scotland takes on its opponents across the Atlantic.
As the tour approaches, we expect an exhilarating display of rugby talent from the promising young players, demonstrating the bright future of Scottish rugby. Stay tuned for more updates on the Americas Tour and join us in cheering on the national team as they embark on this exciting journey.
