Kaleem and former Hawk Kyle Rowe in Scotland Sevens


Interim Scotland 7s Head Coach Scott Forrest has named two uncapped players in this 13-man squad for this weekend’s HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series tournament in London.
Fosroc Academy pair Kaleem Barreto and Kyle Rowe have been selected to feature at Twickenham where Scotland have been drawn against hosts England as well as New Zealand and Ireland.

Scrum-half Barreto made his Glasgow Warriors debut in the club’s 47-6 victory over Ospreys in the Guinness PRO14 last season and has spent this season playing for Glasgow Hawks in the Tennent's Premiership.

Rowe comes into the squad fresh off a Tennent’s Premiership and Scottish Cup double with Ayr this season. The winger scored three tries across both finals and was named man-of-the-match as his side beat Heriot’s to be re-re-crowned Tennent's Premiership champions at Milbrae.

The new faces join 10 core squad members and former Edinburgh Rugby winger Tom Brown at Twickenham where Scotland were back-to-back Cup winners in 2016 and 2017.
