The Strathmore Community Rugby Trust say they “could not be prouder” of Struan White who is currently with the Scottish Rugby Sevens rugby squad in Kenya.
White, the former Strathmore Rugby Club player who is turning out for GHA Rugby Club in the Arnold Clark Premiership this year, has been part of the Strathmore Community Rugby Trust journey for many years, first as a participant, then as a volunteer and, most recently, as one of the community project assistants.
The Safari Sevens Tournament in Nairobi runs from today until Sunday and sees Scotland Sevens return to action for the first time since 2022.
As well as White - and Ben McDonald, the former Strathallan School pupil who is now part of the Edinburgh Rugby Academy - captain Ross McCann, Ben Salmon, Freddie Owsley, Lewis Wells, Alex Bryden, Daniel Kelly, Hamish MacArthur, Nairn Moncrieff, Finn Callaghan, Ritchie Mitchell and Murray Waugh are in the 13-strong squad.
The Strathmore Community Trust said: “It is fantastic to see where Struan’s rugby journey is taking him and we know he will gain an incredible amount from being part of the Scotland Sevens squad and experiencing rugby at this level.
“We could not be prouder, we want him to enjoy every minute and make the most of this fantastic opportunity.”
