David Ferguson is pleased to see the return of Chris Paterson to the Scotland squad and also a trimming down with the World Cup in mind in The Scotsman.
"This time 12 months ago Andy Robinson was naming his first training squad since being appointed to take over from Frank Hadden, bringing together his first management team and laying down the more abstract principles and beliefs on how he wanted to shape the international squad.
"He will return to the training base of St Andrews next week with players heading there from various parts of Scotland and flying in from other parts of the UK, Ireland and France with a new cushion of comfort from the first year of his charge beneath them. Autumn victories over Fiji and Australia and a historic run of three consecutive wins away from home, in Ireland and Argentina, book-ended a period of ten matches in which Robinson's team began to spark promise in a new era."
