Gilmour set to make Rotherham debut

World Cup back row Kyle Gilmour has been named on the bench for Rotherham Titans for their round 9 fixture against Nottingham on Sunday. The Fort McMurray, Alberta, native signed for Titans in June before leading the Wolf Pack to their first ever Canadian Rugby Championship title. Gilmour has won 14 international caps since his test debut against Portugal in 2013, including three appearances at this year’s World Cup tournament.

Rotherham are currently sitting in 5th spot in the Greene King IPA Championship, England’s highest professional division below the Aviva Premiership. They have previously been a home to Canadians Harry Toews, John Cannon, Adam Kleeberger, and most notably Mike Schmid, who spent seven seasons with the club as player, captain and coach.
