Duncan is delighted with call to Scots squad
Rutherglen rugby player Duncan Weir has been called up for Scotland for the Six Nations.
The Worcester Warriors fly-half benefitted from playmaker Finn Russell being sent home from the squad last week, and was selected for the first time in nearly three years.
Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend was enthusiastic about what the former Cathkin High pupil will bring to the squad ahead of Saturday’s clash with Ireland.
He said: “Duncan is loving being back. He’s a passionate Scot who loves playing for Scotland, is well-liked by all the group, and well-liked by the coaches.
“We’ve been watching him closely the last couple of years with Worcester and he’s been a really consistent performer.”
