London, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 12th Nov, 2018 ) :England-qualified back-row Gary Graham insisted he was "Scottish through-and-through" after being called up on Monday by Scotland coach Gregor Townsend for the remaining November internationals.

Graham, the son of former Scotland prop and forwards coach George Graham, was born in the Scottish city of Stirling and is a former Scotland Under-20 international.

But the 26-year-old loose forward, who plays his club rugby for English Premiership side Newcastle, also qualifies for England on residency grounds.

Last season, having not been capped by Scotland at senior level, he was called up into England's Six Nations squad but did not play.
