Another Scottish international leaving Glasgow Warriors? Possible exit for Nick Grigg
By Jamie Lyall
Glasgow could be set to lose another Scotland international with clubs across Europe and in Japan chasing the signature of centre Nick Grigg.
Wasps and La Rochelle are among the leading contenders to recruit the 27-year-old, whose contract expires in the summer.
Warriors have opened discussions with New Zealand-born Grigg, who has been one of their most important and effective players in the past two seasons under Dave Rennie.
He now faces a huge decision over his future, and could follow Scotland colleagues Stuart Hogg, Finn Russell and Jonny Gray, who is close to agreeing a move to Exeter Chiefs, out of Scotstoun.

One of Welsh Rugby's biggest characters on and off the pitch, RugbyPass travelled to Brecon to see how life after rugby is treating Andy Powell.
The centre was named in the Pro14 dream team of the 2017-18 campaign and nominated again last term after helping Glasgow to the Celtic Park final, where they lost narrowly to Leinster.
Grigg, eligible for Scotland through his grandfather, was signed by Rennie’s predecessor Gregor Townsend in 2015 after sending over a showreel from his time in New Zealand club rugby.
He broke into the Glasgow team following strong performances for Stirling County, and became a mainstay of Rennie’s backline with his explosiveness, dynamism and footwork.
Capped nine times, his defence – arguably the weakest aspect of his game – improved markedly last season, particularly during his three Six Nations starts. But alongside Huw Jones and Rory Hutchinson, Grigg missed out on a place in Townsend’s Rugby World Cup squad.
RugbyPass had the pleasure of interviewing Ireland and Lions star David Wallace.

Look there are a few unarguable facts here that are very clear. SARU was close to bankruptcy with SR, bailed out by the Lions and they need the URC and EPCR. Inclusion of SA teams in URC has been a great for for ALL concerned, from a rugby perspective and financially, moreover there is massive growth yet to come. The GP is in financial trouble and this will be the catalyst for EPCR change to further cement the Boks.
If this all plays out with even greater rewards for the urc AND the Top14 & GP via EPCR, the 6N will become 7N. Nz and Aus NEED to get their version firing with Japan & the PI’s, otherwise they will find themselves increasingly regressing…
Go to commentsPerofeta came back and was available for the eoyt right? Or was that why Love was in the squad (but got injured in the last week)?
It was such a frustrating year. Perofeta looked a service stop gap until Jordan was fit, but then got injured. Plummer was selected because of Pero's injury and dmac shat the bed in the second half in Australia but Clarke (?) got himself binned at the 65 min mark so Plummer couldn't come on (at least with the risk adverse Razors thinking) when he was planned to.
So many other exciting opportunities that could have happened without injuries, but then theyre probably balanced by knowing Sititi probably wouldn't have been given a chance without multiple injuries happened.
