Hunter is one of four of Glasgow's elite development players included in Peter Wright's squad. He's joined by Mike Doneghan (Stirling County), Stuart Hogg (Hawick) and Kerr Gossman (Glasgow Hawks).
Wright says he will use Richie Gray and Robert Harley, recent U20 stars now part of the full Scotland squad for the Six Nations Championship, as examples for this season’s hopefuls to follow.
He confirmed: “You need to dangle carrots in front of players, and an obvious one for me is emphasising how many big names and big personalities have worn the U20 or U21 jersey and progressed to do big things for their country down the years.
“Our guys [this season] should take confidence from what the likes of Richie and Rob have achieved, but there’s also a responsibility to make sure they honour that history and that heritage.”
