Craig - rising star for Scotland.

Andy Craig is following in the foosteps of James McClaren by forcing his way into the Scottish rugby union side after a spell in the 13-a-side code.

Craig failed to make a major impact on league despite being a Scottish international and enjoying spells at Wigan, Halifax Blue Sox, Widnes and Swinton.

He switched codes to join Orrell two years ago and scored nine tries in 19 starts while he has also represented the Scottish Exiles

Craig made his Scotland debut against Canada on the 2002 summer tour to North America and followed up with a try in the 65-23 win against USA.

He enjoyed a profitable autumn with a hat-trick against Fiji and looks to be one of the rising stars in a new-look Scottish three-quarter line.
