He has represented Scotland under 18s, Scotland under 20s and Scotland 7s. In August 2017 Gregor Townsend called Graham up to the extended Scotland national team training squad. [4]
In October 2018 Graham was called up again to the training squad and was then promoted to the main squad. He earned his first cap off the bench against Wales in November 2018.
