The former Scotland captain assesses why talented youngsters struggle to break into the pro game
Ben Healy and Cam Redpath took circuitous but rewarding routes to the Scotland World Cup squad
Cam Redpath knows the next few weeks are critical as he bids to follow in his father’s footsteps by going to a World Cup with Scotland.
Cam Redpath feels ready to start establishing himself in the Scotland set-up after a terrible series of injuries prevented him from building on his memorable debut in the 2021 Calcutta Cup victory at Twickenham.
Ex-Scotland scrum-half Bryan Redpath has jumped back into frontline rugby coaching, agreeing to become director of rugby at London Scottish in the Championship five years after he stepped down from his head coach role at Yorkshire Carnegie.
Cameron Redpath may have only won a single Scotland cap but the Bath centre is already being compared to Tim Horan, the double World Cup-winning Australian star. Like Redpath, Horan had to battle back from a serious knee injury in 1994 that sidelined him for a year, but he returned to continue a career that saw him win 80 caps for Australia and score 30 tries in an eleven-year Test career that included World Cup triumphs in 1991
When it comes to Scottish rugby royalty, names don't much loftier than Townsend and Redpath, but Sean Lineen's Scotland U20s squad can boast both on their roster for the 2021 U20s Six Nations.
After missing nine weeks with a neck injury earlier this year, Bath centre Cameron Redpath is now facing a longer, more serious stint out.
The 21-year-old Bath centre starred on his international debut in the 11-6 win over England at Twickenham.
Having suggested a few weeks ago that Cameron Redpath could enjoy a 10-year Scotland career, Gregor Townsend has now given him a debut.
