J B BORTHWICK
1938 - Wales and Ireland
'Jake' Borthwick played in the school XV in
1927-29. He became a regular in the FP1st XV and was chosen
for Edinburgh in 1932. He played regularly in the district
matches for the next six years and played in several trial
games. However, he finally gained recognition and was selected
as a reserve for the 1937 international against England.
His workrate as a forward was exceptional,
his positional play was exemplary and he was an expert in
the lost art of 'dribbling'.
