Edinburgh prospect Harry Leonard will continue his rise against Racing Metro tonight but insists he’s no star yet, writes The Scotsman's David Ferguson.
"The most animated Harry Leonard gets during a chat in Edinburgh is when it is suggested that he is among a group of young men beginning to light up Scottish rugby.
"Up until that point, he’d been a fairly relaxed interviewee, looking back on his life so far from childhood in Brighton to the Heineken Cup, via Prestonpans, the long grass of Meggetland and training sessions with All Black Dan Carter.
"It was all very convivial but, the suggestion he was a rising star, brought the teenager out of his chair.
"No, no, no, you can’t say that,” said the 19-year-old, with a stare. “I’m not the latest ‘star’. Not in the slightest. I’ve only played three games, four hopefully this week and, hopefully, five next week. I just keep looking to the next job, next training session and next game.”
