Southern Knights Update

Accepting Scottish Rugby’s decision to disband the Super Series Competition as part of The newly announced male performance pathway, the Southern Knights remain focused on preparing for the upcoming Sprint Season.

Pre-season training is well underway at The Greenyards, with a number of key players from the Championship season returning to the Southern Knights squad. Boosted by the recruitment of some new emerging talent within the Borders, the squad is shaping up to be an exciting blend of youth and experience, which we look forward to seeing take the field during the Sprint Season.  

Alongside the squad’s preparation for the Sprint Season, the Southern Knights are also working closer with the Borders FOSROC Scottish Rugby regional academy to support the development of young players in the region. As part of the strategic alignment, members of the Academy have been joining the Southern Knights squad training on a Monday night throughout pre-season. 

Although there remains to be uncertainty surrounding the conclusion of Super Series rugby, our immediate focus is to continue to build momentum as we move closer to the beginning of the Sprint Season. We will ensure to communicate any information relating to the Southern Knights and the Super Series, as and when it is released by Scottish Rugby.

For further announcements regarding the coaching group, playing squad and Sprint Season fixtures, please stay tuned via the Southern Knights’ website and social media channels.
