Biography
Hamish Fergus Wallace Watson is a professional rugby union player who plays as a flanker for United Rugby Championship club Edinburgh. Born in England, he represents Scotland at international level after qualifying on ancestry grounds.
International career
Although he was born and raised in England, Watson was eligible to represent Scotland due to his grandfather, who was born in Glasgow, in addition to having lived in Scotland since 2011.
He progressed to a centrally held Scotland 7s contract in the summer of 2011 before being approached to join the Edinburgh Rugby elite development programme, after a string of impressive showings in the back-row.
He made his Scotland Club XV debut in 2013 while still at Edinburgh Academicals.
Scotland
After impressing for Edinburgh Rugby, Watson made his international debut in the home defeat to Italy during the 2015 Six Nations Championship. His first international try came during the Autumn Internationals of November 2016 as Scotland beat Georgia with his second coming the following summer in the impressive victory over Australia in Sydney.
Watson has been a virtual ever-present for Scotland since 2017, garnering numerous Man of the Match awards. Watson was selected in Scotland's squad for the Rugby World Cup in 2019, but suffered a tournament-ending injury in the opening match against Ireland. Watson's outstanding run of form up to and including the 2021 Six Nations Championship, during which he was an ever-present and didn't miss a single tackle during the five matches, saw him ultimately winning the vote for Player of the Championship.
In 2023 Watson was selected in Scotland's 33 player squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France.
British & Irish Lions
Watson's consistently high standards saw him selected in the 37-man squad for the British & Irish Lions 2021 tour to South Africa. He took to the field for the first tour match against the Sigma Lions at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, becoming Lion #847. He scored a try within seven minutes and was named man of the match. After performing well in the tour's warm-up matches, he was selected on the substitutes' bench for the first Test, coming on early in the second half as the Lions won 22-17 to lead the series.
