From Warrior to World Champion
And finally – whilst Scotland may have been unsuccessful in their attempt to lift the William Webb Ellis trophy, there was one Warriors connection to South Africa’s celebrations on Saturday in Yokohama…
.@GlasgowWarriors number 116 and @Scotlandteam cap number 927 Matt Proudfoot now a world cup winning assistant coach with South Africa. He’s done a hell of a job with that pack.
