From England red to Scotland blue
The 19-year-old previously donned the England jersey at U18 level and was part of their wider U20s training squad just months ago. However, Logan has made the bold choice to switch allegiances, seemingly following in his father's footsteps.
A Welsh twist in the tale
With his grandfather being former Wales footballer Terry Yorath, Logan could have opted to represent Wales instead. But the back-row forward, who has come through Northampton Saints’ academy, has planted his flag firmly in Scotland’s camp.
A legacy to uphold
Kenny Logan earned 70 caps for Scotland at senior level, and now Reuben looks ready to continue the family tradition in Scottish rugby colours. Could this be the start of another Logan legacy?
Reuben's twin sister, Lois, is also carving her own path, making waves as an up-and-coming showjumper.
Reuben's father, Kenny, expressed his excitement ahead of his son's debut for Saints earlier this season, telling Planet Rugby, “I just want Reuben to enjoy his journey. He's got a great opportunity at a fantastic club, and rugby is a wonderful sport to be part of.
“It’s a different world to when I played, but I always say to Reuben, ‘just go and express yourself,'” said Kenny.
With his feet firmly planted in a world-class rugby environment, Reuben is set to continue his impressive rise through the ranks.
All Blacks icon Richie McCaw looks completely different a decade after hanging up his boots
McCaw is a legendary former All Blacks captain and one of rugby’s greatest players. Born on 31 December 1980 in New Zealand, he earned 148 caps and led his country to back-to-back Rugby World Cup victories in 2011 and 2015.
Known for his unmatched work ethic and leadership, McCaw revolutionised the openside flanker role. Since retiring, he’s focused on aviation, charity work, and outdoor adventures, remaining an enduring icon of the sport.
Since his retirement after the 2015 World Cup win, McCaw has been passionately pursuing ultra-hardcore marathons, and the weight loss has given him a competitive edge.
The retired athlete, who previously weighed 110kg, is now around 90kg after shedding the extra pounds.
