repupdate =Hugo Finlay Grant Southwell (born
14 May 1980 ) in London is a English-Born Scottishrugby union footballer. He is a fullback center or a wing.He plays for
Edinburgh Gunners . He qualifies for Scotland through a maternal grandfather fromFalkirk . Southwell made his Scotland debut as a replacement in 2004 against Samoa inNew Zealand . He made a try-scoring debut at Murrayfield as he crossed the line against Australia in the opening match of the 2004 Autumn tests. Hugo Southwell was restored to the Scotland line-up for the 2005 Autumn test against New Zealand and rewardedFrank Hadden with a fine display against theAll Blacks .Southwell is also a keen cricketer, having played a handful of first-class matches for Sussex as a batting all-rounder before deciding to concentrate on rugby. He still maintains the ambition to play first-class cricket, once his rugby career is over, in the hope that he will be able to fulfill his dream of becoming a double internationalist. Southwell's ambition has received the support of the current England Cricket Coach Peter Moores, who previously coached Southwell at Sussex. This support will no doubt be to the dismay of Frank Hadden who has previously voiced his concern over Southwell's cricketing ambitions ahead of the rugby internationals against Barbarians and the two-match Test tour of South Africa in 2006. Hadden had wanted the Scottish Rugby Squad to rest ahead of the showpiece games and was concerned that Southwell, who took three wickets for Heriot's and hit the winning runs against Edinburgh Accies, decided to play in the Masterton Trophy instead.
