VIDEO: London Scottish have signed a monstrously proportioned flyhalf
By Ian Cameron
London Scottish have added a massively proportioned flyhalf, who's physique is more akin to a secondrow.
24-year-old Basil Strang previously represented Oxford University in Varsity matches at Twickenham, Worcester Warriors in the A League, Henley Hawks in National league One and last season for Chinnor.
According to Oli Shapley writing on the club's website, Scottish qualified Strang can play at fly-half or centre.
He stands 6'5 and weighs 110kg.
Speaking to the website, science teacher Strang said: "I am really pleased to have signed my first professional contract with London Scottish. Having spent the last three years combining studying for a PGCE and at Oxford University with teaching at Kingham Hill School, I have been lucky enough to be involved a couple of Varsity matches at Twickenham.
He added: "After spending some time with the club and Dave Morris it is an exciting time to be joining London Scottish. I am excited to pull on the shirt for the first time and meeting the supporters."
Director of Rugby Dave Morris is pleased to add further competition to the back-line.
"I really like Basil's rugby journey to date with Varsity and National league experience. I like a squad with a range of life experiences and outlooks. He has some attributes to his game which are super strengths that will enable us to pose the opposition different threats. He also has real versatility being able to play a number of positions across the back line."

I'd rate the brothers Hendricks a point or two lower. Jaden has really not delivered on his early promise and Jordan's kicking at posts was quite erratic. Amongst other things.
I was really surprised that DuhDuh was replaced and not Jordan. DuhDuh had a great game and just underlined his class in a backline that was not firing on all cylinders.
Damian Willemse was missed. Hopefully he'll be back to full fitness and have an injury free 2025 (and '26 and '27 and so on until he decides to retire to spend time with his grandchildren).
RG was great. What an athlete.
Very happy that Hanekom made his debut at last. He gave a good account of himself and will hopefully grow into his role on the international stage.
All things considered, this was another frustrating Bok performance. Even though it was a comfortable win, it wasn't a commanding win. This Welsh team should've been put away by a far larger margin.
But I have faith in Dr Rassie. He knows more than I do. Bring on 2027 😁
