International career
He was capped by Scotland 'B' on 11 November 1972 to play against France 'B' while still playing with Edinburgh University and Edinburgh Wanderers. France 'B' won the match 17 - 15 and The Glasgow Herald noted:
Apart from the solid front row, only one Scot, Wright, did himself justice. It was he that kept Scotland in contention at the touchline, and his aggressive work elsewhere, notably in ruck drive and maul wrestling, should have served as a reminder to others.
While with Edinburgh Wanderers, he made his full senior Scotland debut on 13 January 1973 against France in Paris. It was his only senior cap.
