Head coach Sean Lineen said: “We had a number of injuries before the first camp so were able to increase the spread of potential players with the result that a number of guys really put their hands up.


“The main job of this camp is to identify and bring on as many more players as we can, looking at what they’re like both on and off the field – it’s as much to look at the communication between them as what they’re like as players.”


The forty-one strong squad will play with a Watsonians side on Tuesday (19) then train with the Scotland national team the following day, interspersed with a number of sessions covering strength and conditioning, nutrition and skills, preparing the players for the next step in their rugby lives.
