Could this be the breakthrough Warr has been striving for?
Sale Sharks flanker Ben Warr is poised to make his Scotland debut during the upcoming North and South American tour, having been included in Gregor Townsend’s 37-man squad.
A Long-Awaited Opportunity
The 26-year-old has been in impressive form for Sale this season, earning rave reviews for his relentless work rate and physicality. He has been capped several times at age-grade level for Scotland but has yet to make his full international bow.
A Versatile Addition
Warr is a versatile forward who can play across the back row, offering Townsend options in both the loose and tight exchanges. His inclusion in the squad suggests that he could be vying for a starting berth in one of the three back-row positions.
Tough Competition
However, Warr will face stiff competition from the likes of Jamie Ritchie, Hamish Watson, and Magnus Bradbury, all of whom have established themselves as key members of Townsend’s squad.
A Chance to Prove His Worth
The North and South American tour will provide Warr with an ideal opportunity to showcase his abilities and prove that he is ready for the international stage. Scotland will face Argentina, Canada, and the United States during the tour, providing Warr with a variety of challenges to test his mettle.
With his physical presence, defensive prowess, and ability to carry the ball effectively, Warr has all the attributes of a top-class international forward. If he can translate his club form to the international stage, he could soon establish himself as a regular in the Scotland back row.
Key Points:
Kind regards C. Dixon.
