Overview
- On Wednesday, June 3, Great Britain called up Scotland winger Darcy Graham to join the squad for the SVNS World Championship weekend in Bordeaux.
- GB go to Bordeaux needing a top-eight finish after a poor showing in Valladolid that left them at the foot of the Championship standings.
- Graham is Scotland’s leading international try-scorer and brings prior sevens experience from 2016–2018 and the 2018 Commonwealth Games despite not featuring regularly on the World Series since 2018.
- The call-up is temporary: Graham accepted while on downtime and is scheduled to rejoin Scotland’s summer Test programme, which includes matches in South Africa, Argentina and a home match with Fiji.
- Coaches hope Graham’s sevens speed and experience will boost a depleted GB squad that has also added Finlay Callaghan and others to cover recent injuries, with a top-eight finish in Bordeaux the clear, quantifiable threshold to remain in the SVNS Championship next season.
