Early life
Allan hails from a rugby family; his Scottish father William Allan and his Italian mother Paola Berlato both played in Italy, while his uncle John Allan earned 9 caps for Scotland and 13 for South Africa. Through his father he was eligible to represent Scotland, but chose to play for Italy at senior level.
Career
Allan was part of the London Wasps Academy in 2011 before captaining the RGS High Wycombe rugby side. He won the Under-19 Provincial Championship while playing for Western Province in South Africa and at the end of his contract there, he joined Perpignan.
On 9 October 2013 Allan was named in the Italian 35-man training squad for the 2013 end-of-year rugby union tests, which led to the Scottish Rugby Union seeking clarity on Allan's intentions for his future. Despite Allan playing for Scotland at Under 17, Under 18 and Under 20 age groups, he was named in Jacques Brunel's final squad. He made his debut coming off the bench to score against Australia.
Allan started the first three of Italy's 2014 Six Nations matches against Wales, France and Scotland.
