Logan told the SW7 Academy podcast, "after a pint or two", the "fantastic" singers attempted to encourage Reuben to switch allegiances. "To be fair to Reuben, he's been Scottish since he was born," she told host and former Wales rugby captain Sam Warburton.

But she said the 20-year-old, who plays in the back row for the Manchester-based Sale Sharks, and whose dad is ex-Scotland winger, Kenny Logan, has previously played for England's under-18s, which made his dad "uncomfortable". Gabby Logan's dad, former Wales football legend Terry Yorath , died in January following a short illness. "I'm very proud of my Welsh heritage and recently we lost my dad," she said.

"We had a lot of Welsh people at the service and a fantastic choir came up from Cardiff and there was 50 of them and they'd had a pint or two and were asking Reuben if he'd consider switching allegiances.

"He used to just shout, 'come on Reuben' and I'm like, 'you can't just say come on Reuben' and he was like, 'I can't say come on England'.
