Samuel Hidalgo-Clyne (born 4 August 1993) is a Scottish rugby union player who plays for Scotland and Edinburgh in the Pro12. His primary position is as a scrum-half, but he can also operate as a fly-half, winger and full-back.
Early life
Born in Jayena, Granada, Spain, he moved to Edinburgh at the age of three.[1] He began playing rugby at primary school for Forrester RFC and continued there when he started his secondary schooling at the Royal High School.[2] Having gained a scholarship, he attended Merchiston Castle School[1] where he played as a stand-off before being selected as a scrum-half.
Club rugby
Hidalgo-Clyne specialised in international sevens for the 2011–12 season and joined Edinburgh's elite development roster in the summer of 2012.
He was awarded a place on the 2013 Macphail Scholarship to New Zealand.[3]
Upon his return, Hidalgo-Clyne put himself in contention for a place in the senior squad and made his debut against Munster in September 2013.[4] His first try for the club came in the opening minute of Edinburgh's 48–0 evisceration of Benetton Treviso in December 2014.[5] At the end of the 2014–15 season, Hidalgo-Clyne was named the Pro12 Young Player of the Year.[6]
International career
Hidalgo-Clyne made his full Scotland debut on Saturday 7 February 2015, coming off the replacements' bench in a 15–8 defeat to France in the 2015 Six Nations Championship, and did so again in each of the remaining four matches.[7]
Hidalgo-Clyne has also represented Scotland under-17, under-18, under-20 and Scotland Sevens.
