About Greig Laidlaw

Laidlaw holds the record for most caps as captain, 39, of the men's Scottish national team. He also represented the British & Irish Lions in 2017. Although Laidlaw was a scrum half, he was often used as the first-choice goal kicker by his teams. Laidlaw scored over 700 points for Scotland in his career and is one of the highest points scorers in rugby union history. == Early life == A nephew of Scotland scrum half Roy Laidlaw, he joined Edinburgh in the summer of 2006. His first-team opportunities were limited at first behind Scotland scrum half Mike Blair, but in 2010 he signed a new two-year contract. Laidlaw's earlier representative rugby included games for Borders under-16 and under-18 as well as Scotland under-18. After stints with the Scotland sevens and under-21 sides, he made his full Scotland debut against New Zealand at Murrayfield in November 2010. In January 2011, he was called up to Scotland's Six Nations squad and, although he did not get any game time, he was retained in Andy Robinson's 40-man squad ahead of the World Cup.
