Ruaridh Jackson's development as an international stand-off will continue back in Glasgow colours tonight as he seeks to put into practise lessons learned from his first Six Nations Championship.The Scotsman's David Ferguson reports.
"The 23-year-old made his first three Test starts for Scotland in the past month and has told Glasgow coach Sean Lineen that despite a minor knock suffered in the win over Italy he is fit and ready to go straight back into action at Firhill against Ulster tonight.
"He is probably also mindful of the competition he faces from teenage rival Duncan Weir, who has returned from a serious shoulder injury suffered playing for Scotland A in November. Jackson takes his place and DTH van der Merwe, who signed a new two-year deal this week, comes in for Hefin O'Hare.
"Announcing his line-up yesterday, Lineen said: "To have the Scotland No 10 back is really encouraging. He had a slight bang on his leg but it is fine. He is raring to go and is calling the shots this week; straight back into it with the confidence of playing the last two games for Scotland, which has helped him a lot."
