Really interesting article on Matt Scott on the BBC website, I think we all forget the human element of players, particularly when they are injured, and can be quite hard on them if they don't come back firing on all cylinders straight away, Matt did lok totally out of sorts last season and too heavy, but you could see from the first pre season game he was a different animal this year. it is concerning that out S & C coaches didn't step in when he was gaining bulk, although if his mental health was fragile they maybe felt it better to let him "achive " something and not knock him.
Great to have him back, when you see some of the other injuries we have had, it is a pretty horrific way to have to earn a living, Weir, similarly to Scott had a loss of form and probably none of us realised how bad it was, Du Preez too, has taken a couple of years to get back to where he was.
Hats off to all of them for coming back and I really do think we will see something special from Sutherland once he is fully back upto speed and woudlnt be surprised if he is Scotlands starting LH this year.
