Rory Sutherland (born 24 August 1992) is a Scottish rugby union player known to be a dynamic ball carrier, defender and scrummager. He plays for Worcester Warriors in the Premiership.[1]

Education

Sutherland is a former Trinity Primary and Hawick High School pupil.

Playing career

Sutherland came through the ranks with his hometown club and school sides before representing the Borders and Scotland at under-17 and under-18 in the back-row.

He switched to loose-head prop during his first season of senior rugby at Hawick and, after a season with Biggar, caught the attention of RBS Premiership runners-up and Border League winners Gala.

In 2017 Sutherland suffered a serious adductor injury that threatened his career and required him to spend time in a wheelchair.[2][3]

While on the 2021 British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa it was announced that Sutherland would join Worcester Warriors ahead of the 2021/22 season.

International career

Sutherland received his first call up to the senior Scotland squad by coach Vern Cotter on 19 January 2016 for the 2016 Six Nations Championship.[4] Sutherland got his first Scotland cap during the Six Nations against Ireland in 2016. By 2021 he had made 18 appearances for Scotland, 16 as a starter and two as a replacement.[5]

British & Irish Lions

In May 2021, Sutherland was selected in the 37-man squad for the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa.[6] He took to the field in the opening warmup match against Japan at Murrayfield, becoming Lion #840.[7] After strong performances in the tour's warm-up matches, he was selected on the substitutes' bench for the first Test but was subsequently elevated to the starting line up just hours before kick-off. He played 55 minutes as the Lions won 17-22 to lead the series.[8][9] Then then came off the bench the following week for his second Test cap.[10]

Personal life

Sutherland has a long-term partner and they have two children.[11]
