In the illustrious saga of the Calcutta Cup, one of rugby's most storied rivalries, this weekend's clash will not only pit two nations against each other but also divide a proud rugby lineage.
Reuben Logan carries a name steeped in rugby glory, yet his journey diverges from that of his father, the esteemed Kenny Logan, who graced the field in the iconic blue of Scotland for 70 illustrious caps.
While the echoes of his father's legacy resonate, young Logan has charted his own course. Despite initially training with Scotland at the Under-17s level, he adorned the red rose in last year's Under-18s Six Nations Festival, and now finds himself in the esteemed ranks of England's burgeoning Under-20s squad, a testament to his burgeoning talent and unwavering dedication.
“It was an interesting conversation,” said Logan, recalling the moment he informed his dad of his choice.
“He realised I’ve got to do what's best for me. He was a bit hurt at the start, but I explained that it was not his career anymore and he said fair play.
“He's been really supportive, really helpful. He used to drive me up and down to Northampton, to Henley, and to England camps, so he's been really helpful in my development.
There was a third option, courtesy of mum and television icon Gabby, who represented Wales in the Commonwealth Games, but the 18-year-old was encouraged to come to his own conclusions.
“I didn't really know when I was younger,” said Logan, who attended school and lives in the south-east of England. “When I got older, I realised that was the avenue I wanted to go down.
“Dad said do what's best for you, which I really appreciated.
“They both want me to play well and play good rugby, so whatever crest is on my shirt, hopefully they'll be proud of me.”

Sons of Lomu, Lynagh and Brooke could all play in the Six Nations
Here’s a list of rugby legends sons who are set to play for other countries, including the son of All Black legend Jonah Lomu.
#1. Louis Lynagh (England)
Age: 22
Club: Harlequins
Position: Fullback
Dad: Michael Lynagh (Australia)
#2. Lucas Brooke (England)
Age: 21
Club: Richmond
Position: back-row
Dad: Zinzan Brooke (New Zealand)
Brooke, who can play across the back-row or at hooker, grew up in England so is fully qualified to wear the red rose.
The powerhouse has represented Berkshire at county level and regularly played for his school, Wellington College. He's since become a regular for England U20.
#3. Manu Vunipola (England)
Age: 23
Club: Saracens
Position: Fly-half
Dad: Elisi Vunipola (Tonga)
Vunipola comes from vintage rugby stock and is already well on his way to following in the footsteps of cousins Billy and Mako as part of the England U20s set-up.
His dad, Elisi Vunipola, played in Super Rugby for the Brumbies, as well as appearing 41 times for Tonga – including at the 1995 and 1999 Rugby World Cups – and was his country’s most-capped player upon retirement in 2005.
#4. Jacob Umaga (England)
Age: 25
Club: Benetton
Position: Fly-half
Dad: Mike Umaga (Samoa)
The surname Umaga carries a lot of weight in rugby. Mike Umaga won 13 caps for Samoa, while Tana is one of the All Blacks’ most respected captains.
And it appears the name could live on with Jacob, son of Mike and nephew of Tana, who is seen as one for the future for England after being called up for the Autumn Nations Cup.
#5. Dhyreille Lomu
Age: 15
Position: Wing
Dad: Jonah Lomu
Lomu, who currently plays on the wing, was born in France during his Dad’s brief stint playing for Marseille, hence any eligibility discussions wouldn’t be an issue.
Known as Frenchie at school in New Zealand, the aspiring youngster has already began to impress at a number of age-grade tournaments in New Zealand. He's also passionate about tennis.
His Instagram bio reads: "Hi guys, everyone tells me I’m a mini version of my dad Jonah"
Jonah, a legend of world rugby, died in 2015 from complications following a kidney condition
