Simon Berghan made his test debut for Scotland in mid-February vs. France in a Six Nations Rugby Match. He played at tighthead prop and even managed to have Shirley BHS sky-blue coloured tape around his head as opposed to the Scottish navy blue. This was a very close game with the French pulling away in last few minutes to win 22-16.
