I would suggest that he is no walk up start at the Warriors either just quietly.Originally Posted by Tyr
Unless one of them is retiring or moving on, these are the two already playing for them:
Graeme Beveridge:
Scrum half. Born: 17.2.76 in Edinburgh. Height: 5ft 6in (1.68m). Weight: 13st (83kg)
Graeme Beveridge made his debut for Scotland when he replaced Andy Nicol during the second Test of the 2000 summer tour to New Zealand, but it was more than three years later before he had his first international start in his fifth Test appearance.
That was against Wales in Cardiff in the second of Scotland’s three Countdown Tests before the 2003 World Cup.
He was in the Scotland squad in Australia for the World Cup but did not play in any of the five games.
Before the 2000 New Zealand tour Beveridge played in the non-cap match against the Barbarians, having been chosen for the senior Scotland squad for the first time for the match against France in March 2000.
He went on to win his second cap as a substitute against the USA in the first autumn Test that same year.
He was in Scotland’s under-19 team at the 1995 FIRA Junior World Cup in Bucharest and is also a former under-19 and under-21 international captain.
He was in Scotland’s squad for the 1996 Students’ World Cup in South Africa, and the following year, as an emergency replacement, he joined Scotland’s touring squad in southern Africa in time to play in the final-match win over Eastern Province.
He also played in two matches on Scotland’s 2004 tour to Australia, scoring a try in the 48-10 win against New South Wales Country.
A leg injury kept him out of Glasgow Caledonians’ early matches in 1998-99, but he recovered in time to make a try-scoring debut at A international level in the runaway win over Italy at Netherdale in March 1999.
Graeme, a former pupil of Peebles High School, has played 14 games for Scotland A, also scoring a try in the defeat by the French in Agen in February 2003.
He played his hundredth game for Glasgow when he made a replacement appearance against Munster in October 2004, and by the close of season 2005-06 he had an impressive tally of 17 tries in his Glasgow career.
International record: 6 caps. 2000 – NZ(2r) USA(r) Sam(r). 2002 – Fj(r). 2003 – W. 2005 – R(r).
Sam Pinder:
Scrum half. Born: 15.2.79 in Taupo, New Zealand. Height: 6ft 1in (1.86m). Weight: 13st 12lb (88kg).
Samuel Jared Pinder won his first cap for Scotland as a second-half substitute for Mike Blair against South Africa in Durban in June 2006 and followed up with a second replacement appearance in the second Test in Port Elizabeth a week later.
Before departing for the tour he had made a try-scoring debut in Scotland’s non-cap match against the Barbarians.
He had been in Northland’s NPC squad since 1998, the year in which he played for New Zealand under-19 along with a couple of All Blacks, Aaron Mauger and Jerry Collins.
That same year he was in the New Zealand Youth team who toured Wales and Canada, and he has also been on the replacements’ bench for Auckland Blues in two Super 12 matches.
In Northland club rugby he captained Otamatea (1999 and 2000) and Waipu (2001).
He joined Glasgow Rugby in summer 2003 and scored a try on his Celtic League debut in the September victory against Cardiff at Hughenden.
Sam, who has a degree in physical education from Auckland College of Education, qualifies for Scotland as his paternal grandmother was born in Cockenzie, East Lothian.
International record: 1 cap. 2006 – SA1(rep) SA2(rep).
