From the Tigers website: "Luke Hamilton has been named in the Scotland squad for the upcoming autumn internationals."

Totally deserved - well done, Luke!

Had me

for a minute, was sure he was welsh but qualifies for Scotland via his Father.

Well deserved indeed, but another potential cog missing....

With Hardie on the naughty step, it's not surprising if they're looking elsewhere.

This is actually good news for us, If he had chose to play for Wales it would mean he would have to leave after 2019 to play for a Welsh region

Gutted if we lose him in November. He's been key to our form this season.

He will indeed be a loss as he is playing exceptionally well at the moment but except for Bath the November fixtures are relatively 'easy' so hopefully we can get through this period with some hope of success. There are certain advantages in signing good overseas players

I wouldn't imagine he'll be picked for All Blacks or Wallabies matches and Samoa match is on an Anglo Welsh weekend.

Well deserved, and how good to see Tigers developing players again.

Fair play to him!
He has done quite well at 7 and I would imagine some fresh input could go a long way to helping him get even better which would be good for everyone all round!
The day Tigers have as many regular internationals as Sarries is the day they will be challenging as equals, and potentially that isn't as far off now!

I think you're confusing 'potential' with 'reality' there mate....

Not confusing it but mixing it, funny, dreams tend to be realised like that!
The confused one's are at the other end of the table!

Well said! I suspect it's also the case that, all other things (like £) being equal, a club with a good showing on the international front - particularly with 'developed' talent - is likely to attract the best up-and-coming players.

Yes agree, Hamilton will no doubt pass on his new experiences to others which is important!
I really like Hamilton's story!
It is well documented I dislike the academy bubble immensely, IMO it lacks character these days!
And I take my hat off to anyone who survives the lower divisions in France!

Congratulations to Luke - the call up is well deserved as his form both last season and this has been excellent, whichever back row position he's covered.

Absolutely deserved, played extremely well at 6,7 or 8 and our Mr Consistency of the forward pack.

We will miss him in November and again with the call up of Mapapalangi and Kalamafoni means that Fred Tuilagi Jr is probably going to be wearing 8 in the AWC
