Education

Sutherland is a former Trinity Primary and Hawick High School pupil.

Playing career

Sutherland came through the ranks with his hometown club and school sides before representing the Borders and Scotland at under-17 and under-18 in the back-row.

He switched to loose-head prop during his first season of senior rugby at Hawick and, after a season with Biggar, caught the attention of RBS Premiership runners-up and Border League winners Gala.

In 2017 Sutherland suffered a serious adductor injury.[2][3]

International career

Sutherland received his first call up to the senior Scotland squad by coach Vern Cotter on 19 January 2016 for the 2016 Six Nations Championship.[4] Sutherland got his first Scotland cap during the Six Nations against Ireland in 2016.

Personal life

Sutherland has a long-term partner and they have two children.[5]
