Rugby NewsSunday, 17 May 2026 at 21:11
Gabby Logan’s son, Reuben Logan, is emerging as one of the most exciting young forwards in English rugby and could soon face a major international decision.
The 20-year-old back-rower has recently broken into the Sale Sharks senior setup after impressing in the club’s academy, and his rapid development has not gone unnoticed by several Six Nations nations.

Eligible for England, Scotland and Wales
Logan has a rare international profile. His father, former Scotland wing Kenny Logan, won 70 caps for his country, while his mother Gabby Logan has Welsh family connections. Born in England, Reuben is eligible to represent England, Scotland and Wales.
He has already featured for both England and Scotland at Under-20 level, underlining just how highly he is rated by coaches across the Home Nations.
Scotland Remains the Preferred Option
Sources close to the player suggest that Scotland remains Logan’s preferred destination, with the youngster keen to follow in his father’s footsteps and wear the dark blue jersey at senior level.
However, the situation is not completely settled.
Wales Keeping a Close Eye
RUCK understands that Wales are monitoring Logan’s progress closely and could make a serious attempt to bring him into their international setup.
With Wales looking to rebuild and add athleticism to their back row, Logan fits the profile of the type of player they are eager to secure.
If his rise at Sale Sharks continues, Reuben Logan may soon have a career-defining decision to make, with three Six Nations nations all capable of offering him a future on the Test stage.
