Glasgow Warriors hooker Johnny Matthews enjoyed the best summer of his life after getting married before receiving a surprise World Cup call.
It was a summer of love for Johnny Matthews in his professional and private life as he experienced a whirlwind few months.
“Yeah, I was kind of here, there and everywhere this summer,” Matthews recalls. “I was in here for two weeks, out there for two weeks, back in here - I’m loving being back. I didn’t have much time to think about going to the World Cup as it was less than 12 hours from the phone call to me landing in Nice. It was a whirlwind but one that I absolutely loved.
“Yeah,” Matthews replied when asked if he received a nice reception on his return. Like I said I wasn’t really kind for that long, but I got loads of really nice messages from all the lads. Seven members of Glasgow’s Scotland contingent started in their opening win against Leinster in the URC. Every international recommenced training on Tuesday and Matthews attests to that determination to return to the team spirit within the Warriors changing room.,” Matthews added. “Everyone loves each other’s company, we’re really close as a squad, as a staff everyone gets on really well - I think it’s just a good place to be.
