Scottish Player List (playing outside of Scotland) & transfers
This is still a tad out-of-date and is in the process of being updated.
This is a reference thread to pool a list of Scottish and Scots qualified players that play outside of Scotland. Only having 2 pro teams means there are surely a good few of them.
Why? Well, mainly as a reference and to discuss the talent that plays away from home and, if they are playing well, hype about them getting picked for Scotland, or getting signed by Edinburgh or Glasgow.
I'll start off with the ones I know of, and I'll update the thread as we go.
Please let me know who I've missed, and of any transfers or retirements!
* = International Cap
^ = International A Team & Sevens caps
Home Region Squads
Here are the current 2015/2016 squads for Edinburgh Rugby & Glasgow Warriors. This will always be up to date.
* = International Cap
^ = International A Team caps & Sevens

Re: Scottish Player List (playing outside of Scotland) & transfers
Impressive list, couple of additions and a transfer; Neale Patrick is now at London Scottish and you could include Junior's brother Andrew Bulumakau at Doncaster and even Kevin Sinfield retired from league and now at Yorkshire Carnegie.

Re: Scottish Player List (playing outside of Scotland) & transfers
Phil Godman is now Sporting Head at a Boarding School in Dundee.
Sean Tomes is no longer with us.
We don't have many at the moment...but I can see that increasing. We were always strongest when we had our share of the border lads!

Don't think the High School of Dundee is a boarding school.
Godman was a skillful player - hopefully he's able to translate those skills into school rugby and inspire one or two of the next generation.

Re: Scottish Player List (playing outside of Scotland) & transfers
Cheers lads! Updates incoming!
Removed P.Godman and S.Tomes (did he kick the bucket or what? Where did he move to?).
Moved N.Patrick to L.Scottish
Added A.Bulumakau to Doncaster.
Regarding Kevin Sinfield - he's an ageing (35) League player who's finishing his career in Union. And does anyone know what position he plays (in union)? On the YC website it says back-row/half-back. Might as well have said "on the pitch" TBH, I think I'll leave him out.

I wasn't suggesting that he's an option for Cotter to consider, most of the list aren't going to concern the Scottish selectors probably in any case.

This is a list for reference sake. I wasn't suggesting that you were suggesting anything regarding selection. I was simply implying Sinfield isn't worth listing as he is an unknown quantity in union and is on a player/coach role at YC. I suppose you could argue that other older players aren't worth listing too - McKibbon, Robinson, Prescott etc - but they were listed as SQ, and playing regularly, so I put them up.

Sorry yes...I didn't mean Sean Tomes had died...I meant he was no longer playing for the falcons.
ANd as for the High School in Dundee...I don't know what it is. I just know he has taken up a sporting positon at a school in Dundee....

Re: Scottish Player List (playing outside of Scotland) & transfers
See Du Preez would be Scottish eligible in time for the autumn internationals next year if he hangs about? Not that im a fan of that but it is the world we live in.
Im actually wondering who the next "Scot's Born" Back-row to be capped will be? Ashe and Harley seem like they will be squeezed out the Squad for the next few years barring injuries? Im not counting Watson excellent as he is, as he followed the Exile pathway.
Hoping Coman, Berghan and Dell leave this year, cant help feel they are bit of dead wood holding back Bradbury and Ritchie in Coman's case, and Berghan and Dell have been there for ages without making any impression.

Well, mine is sorted by team, and Maj has done his by position. So it's not too bad.

Re: Scottish Player List (playing outside of Scotland) & transfers
Excellent effort, Mesmeric. I take it you got really, really bored at work one afternoon?
What this collation shows is that, despite a big improvement in recent years, our player depth is still very poor. As has been said somewhat obliquely above, the number of players in that list who are genuine considerations for Test selection is pretty small.

Cheers, I'll currently unwell, so waaay too much time on my hands, although can't go far from the bed.
It's rugby and grand strategy PC games until I'm on my feet - which is hopefully Monday because work won't do itself.

Re: Scottish Player List (playing outside of Scotland) & transfers
And yes, even though we had a very competitive world cup selection, it's still fairly bare-bones behind the scenes.
However, with the 3 from 4 rugby academies open now, we should start to see more youngsters coming through.
Time for that billionaire to come along and fund the Caledonia and Border Reivers pro team resurrection! And save Scottish rugby from mediocrity!

Robinson's only 26! Hardie's 27 and has only just come over. I don't think anyone would say he's too old.
RR was crocked for a bit, but if he can get back to form he'd be just the kind of back Edinburgh need (seeing as they barely have any so that they can host every backrow forward in Scotland).

That's a genuinely good idea, and I actually think she'd be up for it. Huge rugby fan, she is.alive555 wrote:A Simply Mesmeric Try wrote:And yes, even though we had a very competitive world cup selection, it's still fairly bare-bones behind the scenes.
However, with the 3 from 4 rugby academies open now, we should start to see more youngsters coming through.
Time for that billionaire to come along and fund the Caledonia and Border Reivers pro team resurrection! And save Scottish rugby from mediocrity!
JK Rowling could do that with pocket change .
Prepare yourselves by turning your geekyness up to 11...

Re: Scottish Player List (playing outside of Scotland) & transfers
The problem is that we don't just need one big lump sum, we need it every year to keep it going, estimated to be around £5m a year. Edinburgh and Glasgow survive because the SRU makes loads of money from the 6N, AIs and world cups.
It just isn't a good business decision to privately start up a 3rd pro team - you will make no money and probably lose a lot.
To give Rowling credit, she donates millions to charity every year and supposedly gets hundreds of charity begging requests every day.
She lives in a nice area of Edinburgh (near Mossy!) in a house that isn't too ridiculously big and drives a fairly normal Audi - Mrs RDW-to-be drives past her quite a lot on her morning commute - and her kids go to an Edinburgh private school.
Her life is entrenched in Scotland so there could be a personal passion for it, but I'd be very surprised!

Liking the thread and the list of players, definitely far tidier than my one.

I've only seen a couple of them play, but Bordhill's pretty handy as is Blackwell.
They can't be too bad to be on the books at those clubs. Maybe 2-3 of them will make it. Ones to look out for in the future.
Re: Scottish Player List (playing outside of Scotland) & transfers
I read ages ago that George was a better prospect than Will and as the latter is on terms with Glasgow already then I am expecting good things from the younger Bordill.

Re: Scottish Player List (playing outside of Scotland) & transfers
Had a goose through the Scotland RL squad and got a wee list of players at descent clubs (i.e not Edinburgh Eagles) who are under 25 and would have the time to convert. * Denotes the players I think could covert easily
Ben Hellewell is at London Broncos, is a centre/fullback and is only 23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tyzo6ZM9Yg
Alex Walker is also at London Broncos, is a fullback and is just 20
David Scott is a weegie playing for Doncaster on the wing and is 22 *
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Slp6QaEHzo
Oscar Thomas plays for Bradford Bulls, is a half back (fly half) and is just 21 *
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Slp6QaEHzo (these are 2 years old)
Adam Walker plays for Hull, is a prop and is 24
Liam Hood plays for Salford, is a hooker (scrum half) and is 23 *

Matty Russell at Warrington is probably the best of the bunch and would be a good bet to succeed in union.

Just interested in people's thoughts, but why would you decide to play rugby league (growing up in Scotland) when you could play Union at more locations and maybe have a better shot at turning professional?
Don't really know many places that play League too.

TBH, if it wasn't for our involvement in the recent RL World Cups (albeit with a mostly Australian line up) I wouldn't have thought any Scots play it at all!

Quite a few of the guys at my club play or have played league during the Union of season.
3 of them have gone on to be capped by scotland with one of them getting a pro deal in England.
Think the main reason they have all got into it is either watching the nrl and fancying a go, something to do in the union off season and with that realising they could gain international honours easier than obviously could in Union and putting them in the shop window.

Just leave this here in case of interest. By product of what I was doing for the Premiership players. I took the list in the OP, not all have been played yet this season.

OP updated with Edinburgh's David Denton moving to Bath.
Also, added the other McKenzie kiwi. Brothers Damien (FH/FB for Chiefs) and Marty (FB/WG for Crusaders) are cousins to Robbie Robinson (FB/FH for Toyota Verblitz and formerly of the Chiefs).

I read that Kevin Sinfield was likely to play at 10 for Leeds, currently learning the game from the wise head that is Harry Leonard!

Forgot about Harry Leonard - hopefully he developes well down in Leeds and comes back to Edinburgh to solve our problems at 10!
