Rising Sharks star Ewan Ashman named in Scotland Squad

Ewan Ashman has been called up to Scotland’s 37 man squad ahead of their summer series. 

The highly rated hooker has enjoyed a breakthrough season at the club featuring in 8 games since December 2020. Ewan’s consistent impact when coming off the bench for the Sharks has now propelled him into international contention with the 21 year-old Academy graduate looking to earn a full Scotland cap during their summer series.

With eight Scottish players unavailable following their selection for the British & Irish Lions’ own tour to South Africa the summer squad combines youth and experience and provides an opportunity for players two years out from a Rugby World Cup to demonstrate their international credentials.

The full group will convene on Tuesday 15 June to prepare for the England A fixture on Sunday 27 June, with a smaller squad then travelling to Romania and Georgia for the two Test matches on consecutive Saturdays, 10 & 17 July respectively.
