SCOTLAND under-21 caps Craig Sangster and Alan Bulloch are two of the
five newcomers in the Glasgow side to face the South African provincial
side Griqualand West at Hughenden a week today (kick-off 7pm).
The other debutants for the district side are Torquil Mathewson, a
prolific try scorer for third division leaders Glasgow Academicals,
Andrew Garry -- the experienced Watsonians centre, who played at New
Anniesland before moving east -- and Matt Begley, the elder of the two
Begley brothers.
The Glasgow selectors, unable to call on any of the Scotland or
Scotland A members, did not consider injured players Angus Turner, Jim
Brough, Shade Munro, or Alan Watt and were resquested by the players
themselves to ignore David Barrett and Stuart Simmers.
Griqualand West, who won the Finbank Cup, the trophy contested by the
smaller provincial sides in South Africa, opened their tour of Britain
and Ireland with a 10-16 defeat by Leinster before losing heavily to
Ulster by 10-54.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
