Greig Laidlaw

Greig Laidlaw is the kind of rugby player coaches dream about: dependable to the point of being a national institution. As Scotland's most-capped captain and a metronomic goal-kicker, he was the man you wanted with the boot in the final minutes. Nephew of the great Roy Laidlaw, he carried a proud Borders lineage and added a 2017 British and Irish Lions call-up to his CV. What I admire most is the calm; whether at scrum-half or fly-half, he made the pressure look manageable. He's a reminder that leadership and reliability can be as thrilling as flair.

Greig Laidlaw (born 12 October 1985) is a Scottish former professional rugby union player who played as a scrum-half and as a fly-half. Laidlaw holds the record for most caps as captain, 39, of the men's Scottish national team. He also represented the British & Irish Lions in 2017. Although Laidlaw was a scrum half, he was often used as the first-choice goal kicker by his teams.
