Jack Dempsey has promised to repay Scottish rugby for helping resurrect a rugby career he feared was petering out before he decided to head north to join Glasgow Warriors from the Waratahs in his native Australia during the summer of 2021.
The 28-year-old No8, who was capped 14 times by Australia between June 2017 and October 2019, became the first player to switch between two tier one nations through World Rugby’s recently altered eligibility laws when he came off the bench for Scotland on Saturday – and as luck would have it, his debut in dark blue was against the nation where he was born, raised and initially made his name as a player.
