Uncapped Warriors can make their mark

Matt Taylor thinks Glasgow's uncapped contingent will benefit from this summer's tour with Scotland
Matt Taylor says the six uncapped Warriors in the Scotland squad travelling to South Africa will benefit hugely from the experiences of the tour.

Scotland will compete in the inaugural Quadrangular tournament with their first match in Durban, against Samoa on June 8 and their second a meeting with the Springboks in Nelspruit a week later.

The Scots will bring down the curtain on the trip with a final test on June 22 in Pretoria with the opposition depending on the results of the first two weeks' games.

After a successful season on the domestic front, Glasgow's Tim Swinson, Pat MacArthur, Alex Dunbar, Peter Horne, Peter Murchie and Tommy Seymour could all play their first games in a Scotland jersey.

Matt, the Glasgow and Scotland defence coach, told the Evening Times: "For all these guys this tour will be a great finishing school for them in terms of the experiences they pick up.

"To be lining up against South Africa at Nelspruit, which is a spiritual homeland of South African rugby, is one of the great tests of an international player.

"The Glasgow lads are coming off a great season and are hungry for this challenge.

"I have no doubt all the lads will come back from this tour with experiences that will only make them better players."
