What they're saying

"
Scotland's record try scorer Darcy Graham is relishing a return to sevens action this weekend after being handed a shock Great Britain call-up for the World Championship in Bordeaux. If I wasn't doing this I would just be training away so I'd rather be competing at a high level.
