Sir Willie Purves Quaich

The Sir Willie Purves Quaich is an annual rugby union award given to the "most outstanding young male Scottish player" of that season.

The Quaich is presented by the Friends of Scottish Rugby organisation annually.

The award was originally held to be for the youngest male Scottish player likely to be capped by the full senior Scotland team.
