Scotland scrum-half Horne will fancy chances of Lions call-up – Care

Glasgow Warriors will be “right up there” in both the European Champions Cup and United Rugby Championship this season, according to former England scrum-half Danny Care.

Warriors opened their Champions Cup campaign with a dominant bonus-point victory against Sale Sharks last weekend, with scrum-half George Horne scoring three first-half tries.

Horne was awarded the player of the match award, and Care reckons a Lions call-up will be in the player’s sights now.

Speaking on the Rugby Union Weekly podcast, Care said: “Those Scottish scrum halves, this is the year to play well.

“Ben White’s the first choice you’d say but George Horne has battled his way back in there ahead of Ali Price, and he might be looking at the Lions tour going ‘I may be a little bit different, I can add a bit of zip’.

“These are the type of games I’m sure Andy Farrell will be watching at home… if he’s got the subscription. “

“Glasgow will be right up there domestically and in Europe again domestically this year.”
