Peter Wright (rugby union)
- Peter Wright (rugby union)
Peter Wright won 21 caps at prop for Scotland between 1992 and 1996, and toured New Zealand with the British Lions in 1993. He has proved an inspiration as coach of Glasgow Hawks.
He is a former blacksmith and Boroughmuir player.
Coaching
In the 2004-5 season Wright coached Hawks to a BT League and Cup double, beating Dundee HSFP 29-17 in the cup final on the international pitch at Murrayfield. He is also a Scottish Rugby development officer in Dumfries and Galloway. Wright started his coaching at Murrayfield Wanderers, leading them to the SRU Bowl in 2000, before joining Hawks.
Peter's sense of humour and keen rugby brain are clearly evident in his match commentary on BBC Radio Scotland. He recently said of Scottish players that "if you tell them six times that they are no good they will believe you, but you have to tell them a million times that they are good to get the same result."
