Dino Waldren Joins London Scottish

A few years ago there was a lot of handwringing in the United States over the lack of front-row players playing professionally in Europe. Now Dino Waldren joins a growing list of front-row players testing themselves in Europe. Mike MacDonald was the standard bearer for a long time (arguably one of the best American pro careers of all time) but there weren't a lot more but now you have Joe Taufete'e (Worcester), Chris Baumann (Leicester), Titi Lamositele (Saracens), Eric Fry (Vannes), and James Hilterbrand (Manly/Sydney) all getting time in good training atmospheres.

For a young player like Waldren if they want a chance to break into the Eagles they need to get a chance at as high of a level as possible. Waldren has a good track record for success. He's been an All-American and a standout at St. Mary's. He also spent the last year playing in Ireland. With London Scottish in the RFU Championship Waldren should get plenty of chances to get time.
