A wild ride for Adam Ashe

By

Glasgow Warriors EDP back-row Adam Ashe speaks about his call-up to the Scotland squad, backed by lions, tigers and his new team-mates.

Scotland play South Africa in the final Test of the Castle Lager Incoming Series on Saturday at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.

For new recruit to the Scotland squad, Glasgow Warriors’ Elite Development Player back-row Adam Ashe, it’s been no less a whirlwind few days than his Atlantic-crossing team-mates, as he received his call-up while in New Zealand.

As current recipient of the Macphail Scholarship, Adam has spent the last few months in Christchurch, experiencing the Canterbury RFU International High Performance Unit and playing for a local club.

With a morning off to visit an animal sanctuary near Port Elizabeth before training re-started, he spoke about his call-up.
