Playing for France
In September 2024, in an article for Midi Olympique, Duguid declared his intention to play for France, instead of Canada, on residency grounds. Duguid was informed by his coaches that he could play for France once he secured French citizenship, and possessed a French passport.[3]
On 15 June 2025, Duguid was named in the France A squad to face England XV on 21 June at Allianz Stadium,[4] and was named in the squad to tour New Zealand in July. Duguid started in the first test, a narrow loss of 31-27,[5] confirming his attachment to France. This was Duguid's only appearance on the tour.
