    Britain has a wealth of talent at 60kg, most of it English, so great for Scotland he pipped the others to it.

    Hopefully in a few years time there will be domestic rivalries in the pro's between these guys.

    I don't think that's a fair thing to say. The English fans will be cheering on Taylor as well.
