The Daily Telegraph's Alasdair Reid unearths the story of when Stuart Lancaster was pulling on the blue jersey of Scotland.
"They were young, they were Scottish, they had dreams. And for some members of the Scotland Under-19 team which lined up against Italy in Ayr in April 1989, those dreams came true.
Doddie Weir, Stuart Reid and Graham Shiel became stalwarts of the full Scotland side over the next 10 years. But life took a rather different course for one of their team-mates.
Not that anyone could have predicted what the future might hold for young Stuart Lancaster of Wakefield.
He was a stranger to most of the Scotland Under-19 side, never having played for the country of his mother's birth at any other level. But if he also had an ambition to get to Murrayfield then at least he now knows that it is about to be fulfilled.”"
