Seymour Receives Scotland Call-up


U.S.-eligible Tommy Seymour has been included Scotland's training squad ahead of the Autumn internationals. Seymour is one of seven new players in the side. With players like Joe Ansbro, Rory Lamont, and Duncan Weir, unavailable, Andy Robinson has brought in several new wingers into camp. While their is no guarantee that Seymour will even see time in one of Scotland's four matches, it does signal that the chances of Seymour ever representing the Eagles to now be minute.

The odds of him playing for the Eagles were always going to be remote. Despite being born in Nashville, Seymour grew up in Ireland where he played for Ulster. After that didn't work out, he move to Glasgow to improve his chances of gaining a cap (his family is from Scotland). So while it's disappointing that he likely will never play for the Eagles, it's not surprising.

*As a note, we will still continue to include Seymour on our Eagles Abroad list until he loses his U.S.-eligibility. That is our policy for all players.
