He was drafted to Marr in the Scottish Premiership for the 2017-18 season.[1]

International career

Rae has represented Scotland at under-17, under-18 and has been capped 18 times at under-20 having played in two Junior World and two Six Nations Under-20 Championships.[6] During the 2014 Junior World Championship held in New Zealand Scotland had to make a powerful second-half comeback to beat their Italian counterparts during which D'arcy Rae made a magnificent break, charging a good 30-meter, to cross for the third score that sealed the victory that ensured Scotlands participation at the elite level in 2015.

He was one of three uncapped players selected by Gregor Townsend for the 2017 Scotland Summer tour of Singapore, Australia and FIji[7] and in January 2018 he was called up to the senior Scotland squad for the 2018 Six Nations Championship.[8]
