Borders prop Bruce Douglas burst on to the Scotland scene with some fine handling on tour in South Africa in 2003 while his work-rate earned him recognition on the 2004 tour of Australia. Earlier in 2003 he scored his first try for Scotland in the 30-22 victory over Wales. Douglas won his first cap for Scotland in the 37-10 November 2002 win against Romania after joining The Borders in their debut season after he had completed his contract with NEC Harlequins. He played in all three Scotland midweek victories in the 2002 summer tour of North America. Has represented Scottish Schools, Scottish Districts and Scotland at Under 16, Under 18, Under 19 and Under 21 levels.
