Could it be won in the Pack ?

With the Autumn international matches coming up, we thought we would take a look at some of the Scotland squad's key players. Below we have listed four of our team, who we think will be very influential in leading Scotland to victory in the upcoming games.

Andrew Henderson
Caps- 16
Club- Sheffield Eagles


Seasoned Pro Henderson has clocked up well over 200 hundred club games in his career and brings heaps of experience, having played at the highest level in super league. Even if playing time is limited, Henderson’s experience back room influence could be vital.

Jack Howieson
Caps- 9
Club- Sheffield Eagles

Sheffield Stalwart and club captain is another player with heaps of experience playing high level rugby league. Recently involved in Sheffield’s shock win against Leigh Centurions, hopefully the no nonsense Prop can take his end of season form into the Autumn internationals, and provide some big hit ups and surging runs in the middle of the park, and help drive Scotland forward.

Paul Jackson
Caps- 4
Club- Castleford

Another influential member of the Scotland pack. Jackson has racked up over 20 appearances in Super League this season, and having spent virtually his whole career at the top, means Jackson will be used to facing world class opposition, meaning his big match experience should help steady the squad and inspire some of the players just entering the Scotland national team

Daryl Clark
Caps- Uncapped
Club- Castleford

Youngster Daryl Clark is one of the most exciting prospects named on the squad list. At the age of only 18 the young hooker has already picked up the clubs under 20’s player of the year award and earned comparisons to James Roby in terms of his killer instinct. With 7 tries in 18 appearances for the Tigers, this youngster certainly knows his way to the try line, and that Hunger could see him score his first of many tries for Scotland.
