Duncan Weir is determined to win a place back in the Scotland squad after returning from a long-term injury but admits he must first get back to his best for club side Glasgow Warriors.
The fly-half made a promising start to his international career, starting in Scotland’s RBS 6 Nations fixtures against Wales and France this year which both ended in defeat.
The 22-year-old sustained a fracture to his right fibula in Glasgow’s last home game of the season against the Ospreys and therefore missed Scotland’s tour to South Africa over the summer.
And having returned to action with Stirling County in the RBS Premiership, Weir believes the next step is to force his way back into the Warriors starting line-up in order to catch the eye of the national selectors.
“It was frustrating missing the Scotland tour. My focus now is on returning to the Warriors squad and playing for Glasgow during the November Tests, when I assume that Jacko [Ruairidh Jackson] will be in the Scotland squad,” Weir told the Scottish Herald.
“It’s great having the opportunity to play for Stirling. The pace of the game is not as fast as pro rugby and the longer grass on the pitch slows things as well, but it’s still very physical.
“It was made easier for me by playing alongside such an experienced scrum-half as AJ McFarlane.”
