Rory Darge is a Scottish openside flanker who has risen to captain his country after establishing himself at Glasgow Warriors.
Appointed Scotland captain before his mid-twenties, Rory Darge emerged at Glasgow Warriors in 2022 as one of the most energetic and technically accomplished breakdown operators in the Six Nations — a player whose work rate and leadership qualities mark him as central to Scotland's ambitions in the northern hemisphere game. He returned to Scotland to join Edinburgh in 2020, before moving to Glasgow Warriors in 2021, where he developed into one of the most dynamic and hard-working flankers in the Six Nations. Darge represented Scotland at under-20 level before earning his senior international debut in 2022, and quickly established himself as a first-choice back-row forward, renowned for his relentless work rate at the breakdown and ability to disrupt opposition ball. Darge was appointed Scotland captain, leading the national side through the mid-2020s with a combative, tireless playing style that made him one of the most respected young leaders in the international game, and continued to be one of Glasgow Warriors' most influential players in the United Rugby Championship. Darge has established himself as one of the finest young opensides in world rugby, combining physicality with genuine tactical intelligence, and remains a central figure in Scotland's continued development as a competitive force in the northern hemisphere game.
