Graham called up for GB Sevens World Championship

3 Jun 2026

Winger Darcy Graham has been called up for Great Britain Sevens ahead of this weekend's Sevens World Championship in Bordeaux.

Scotland’s record try scorer returns to the World Series for the first time since 2018, having previously competed for Scotland Sevens from 2016-2018 and at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

Graham jumped at the chance to join the squad, saying: “David Nucifora called and asked if I wanted to join the boys out in Bordeaux.

“I’m on downtime right now but I jumped at the opportunity and I’m buzzing. If I wasn’t doing this I would just be training away so I’d rather be competing at a high level.”

Reflecting on what the sevens game has given him, he added: “I loved it. Me, Magnus Bradbury and George Horne have all come through that programme. I wouldn’t be in the position I am today without it.”

GB Sevens begin their campaign on Friday, facing South Africa (15.06) and Fiji (20.14), before taking on Kenya on Saturday morning (10.44). The side are aiming for a top-eight finish to retain their place in the World Series.
