Ruaridh ‘Big’ Hart, as we call him, has done exceptionally well in pre-season. He’s trained well and his detail is excellent. He looks like a seasoned campaigner when it comes to the detail. It’s a good opportunity to step up into the big league and take this experience back to Scotland U20s next week.

He made his debut for Glasgow Warriors in Round 10 of the 2023–24 United Rugby Championship against Dragons.[5] He became Glasgow Warrior No. 359.[6]
