Tug-of-war continues over son of ex-Scotland star

TREVISO, ITALY - MARCH 11: Kenny Murray head coach of Scotland U20 looks on during the Under-20 Six Nations Rugby match between Italy U20 and Scotland U20 at Stadio comunale di Monigo on March 11, 2022 in Treviso, Italy. (Photo by Federugby/Getty Images)

Strapping back-row forward Reuben Logan has been called up by Scotland U20s for the forthcoming U20 Six Nations campaign, just months after he was a member of the England U20 wider training group.

Logan, who made his first senior start for club side Northampton in November, has played for England U18s before training with the U20s but the latest call-up by Scotland is the clearest indication yet of where his long-term allegiance lies.

Standing 6’5 tall, Logan Jnr towers above his father, Scotland legend Kenny, who has never pressurised Reuben into wearing the thistle or the rose.

The 19-year-old is joined in the back-row contingent by senior international Freddy Douglas, who made his test debut against Portugal in the Autumn Nations Series in November.

Douglas, still a teenager himself, is selected as he nears a return from the ankle injury he suffered whilst playing for Edinburgh.

Head coach Kenny Murray said: “We’re really excited to work with this group during the Six Nations and for them to deliver the performances we know they’re capable of.

“We’ve got a really exciting squad with a combination of players who were involved in our U20 Trophy win last summer as well as new additions.

“The players really enjoyed playing in front of our fans at Hive Stadium across the Trophy campaign so having three home fixtures in the Six Nations this year is great for them.

“This is the beginning of a big year for us as we make our return to the World Rugby U20 Championship in summer, so we want to start strong and play well across the Six Nations with five performances that we can be proud of.”

Scotland begin their campaign at home to Italy at Hive Stadium, Edinburgh, on Friday, January 31st.
