Barclay performs well against France

Despite a disappointing team performance, former pupil John Barclay was applauded by many commentators for his strong performance in Scotland's first Six Nations game against France at Murrayfield.

"I am delighted for John as he is what Scotland needs, a genuine open side flanker," said John Foster, Director of Sport at Dollar Academy. "I hope that it is the start of a long and successful international career which helps to bring success for Scotland.   It is a massive boost for our rugby club; younger boys who dream of playing for Scotland see that it can be achieved by learning the game at Dollar."
