1. Stephen Brewster - Prop
Stephen or , 'Special
brew' is a tearaway forward who hunts the pitch
in search of rucks and mauls. He often plays like
a man under the influence, hence the nickname. He
is a courageous tackler with constructive footballing
skills.
|
|
2. Craig O'Donnell
- Hooker
Craig is known as the 'choir boy' for his
angelic singing! This side of Craig is at complete
odds with his usual demeanour on the rugby pitch!
His singing repertoire is versatile and he can just
as easily sing an Irish Ballad as Mozart. Similarly,
he is a strong and fast runner equally at home in
the backs and the forwards.

3. Nick Cornbleet
- Prop
Nick is the 'talker' never known to be
silent when there is the opportunity to chat! He is
developing into a strong forward with, unusually for
a forward, good hands. When he is playing his face
is full of concentration and that can sometimes be
enough to get the upper hand against opposing forwards!
Mind you - he is usually still talking!
|
|
4. Ramsay Muir -
Lock
'Rams' is a very appropriate nickname as Ramsay
drives relentlessly forward at the opposition. He
is a fine athlete whose performance can sometimes
be affected by lack of sleep from sleepovers! He has
good handling skills and is the main lineout jumper
in the team.

5. Andrew Robertson
- Lock
Andrew or 'Robbo' works tirelessly on developing
his rugby skills and never misses a coaching session.
He can play in the forwards or in the backs. He is
a fine athlete with considerable pace. He does not
like to lose at anything and will even race people
to tie their shoe laces!
|
|
6. Chris Gill -
Stand off/Wing
At the tender age of 11 - Christopher gives a
good impression of the absent minded Professor! The
'Prof' is forever forgetting the latest set
piece move. One thing that the Prof does not
forget is how to run and is often seen sprinting round
a cross country course with the 'joker'. He maybe
small but pound for pound the Prof has fantastic
ball and running skills.

7. Andrew Hamilton
- Wing
The quiet and thoughtful man of the Tour party.
Sensible and responsible until he gets on the dance
floor at Halloween parties! 'Disco man' plays
anywhere in the backs and is a constructive ball player
with deceptive speed.
|
|
8. Jamie Sutherland
- Lock
Now known as 'Wheatabix man' after he demolished
12 wheatabix a one sitting on a recent sleepover.
Jamie is a strong and powerfully built forward who
eats opposing players! He is currently 5 ft.... -
there is no point putting a figure in as he is growing
so fast - he maybe six feet by the time we arrive
in Paris!

9. Gavin Milne -
Scrum half
Gavin has every rugby accessory and looks every
part the professional player. He has a great desire
to be larger than he is - not that he is small. However,
he plays in jerseys and shorts that are three sizes
too big! Gavin is our 'le petit general' dictating
the play with a expert passing. Lets just hope that
we are not going to meet our Waterloo in Paris.
|
|
10. Rory Paterson
- Stand off
Rory is our playmaker - only problem is he is
a Hearts supporter and so his judgement can be questionable!
Rory has good hands and a devastating side step that
leaves his opponents and sometimes his team mates
bewildered. Rory has been nicknamed 'Roar'
which is appropriate as he leads the Lions into battle.

11. Jamie Smith
- Wing
The 'joker' of the squad. Jamie is a fine
athlete who sprints in cross country! He actually
likes training! He has a devastating outside break
and scores many tries. Jamie is fine footballer and
often forgets what game he is playing so that he claims
penalties when a player is tackled! He will keep the
tour squad smiling.
|
|
12. John Campbell
- Centre
John is more commonly known as 'JJ' or
'chunks' due to his enormous shoulders. He
is a fast powerhouse runner with fine hands but can
be suddenly distracted if sees a mathematical problem
that needs to be solved. In fact, he has been known
to use his protractor to figure what angle he should
be running!
|
|
|
|

|
|
13. Ross Grant - Centre
The pin up boy of the team who has to deal with
fan mail even at this age! 'Rossie' has sparkling
pace and a wonderful break that he has developed
running away from admiring girls!
|
|
14. Alex Chisholm
- Wing
Alex should be known as' twinkle toes'
as he dances around the pitch leaving tacklers in
this wake. Alex is a fine player of football, badminton
and is the current Scottish 'tiddly winks' champion.

15. Stewart Shaw - Hooker
Stewart is a hard running ball playing hooker
who is the baby of the tour party. Therefore, it is
appropriate that being the youngest his nickname should
be 'Stew the Man'! He is known for his positional
sense (I don't think I will go to that ruck over there)
and in common with all hookers has the this uncanny
skill of being outside the winger to score in the
corner!
|
|
16. Franc MacTour
- Mascot
Franc is showing off the Tour dress code for the squad.
His flamed ginger locks will strike fear into every
Frenchman he meets on the rugby pitch. Franc is a
seasoned tourist who scared Dubliners with his Viking
roar and dazzled the English at Malsis, Yorkshire
with his elusive running. Typically, Franc needs no
sleep - well that is how it appears when on Tour.
He has an unbelievable ability to eat sweets, or anything
that is deemed unhealthy!
