Stortoni glad to pass on skills

The Scotsman's David Ferguson talks to Glasgow fullback Bernardo Stortoni and learns that Scotland are tapping into his skill base.

"He is technically a 'Puma' not a salmon, but watching Glasgow's full-back Bernardo Stortoni leaping through the air to claim a high ball is the closest some might find to such natural beauty in rugby.

"Yet, in insisting that it was not through mere courage nor natural ability, the popular Argentine internationalist this week spoke enthusiastically about how he was trying to educate the next generation of Scots on the importance of mastering such skills.

"Stortoni is recognised by leading coaches across the world as one of the foremost catchers of a rugby ball and while Glasgow supporters are treated to his ability on a regular basis the Scotland coaching team have taken him on board to help spread the word of how he achieves such consistency across the country."
