Excitement is building in the household of one lucky young Boroughmuir player as the autumn tests approach. Fred Entwistle has been chosen to represent Boroughmuir as a mascot at the Scotland v Japan game at Murrayfield next weekend.
Fred, who is now in his second season with the minis, received a letter from Scotland coach Scott Johnson, as well as his Scotland kit, and is really excited at the prospect of walking out on to the Murrayfield pitch with his favourite Scotland players.
We recently caught up with Fred to ask him a few questions about rugby and being a mascot.
