David Ferguson, of the Scotsman, praises the SRU for bringing home Sean Lamont.
"There is more to the decisions of Sean and Rory Lamont to return to Scottish rugby than merely the delight of the Glasgow coach Sean Lineen to have experienced internationalists strengthening his back division.
Both players view Scottish rugby as a place where they can improve and taste success, which lies at the heart of sport’s appeal to all performers.
But why did they move away in the first place? There were various reasons, one of which players feel uncomfortable talking about publicly.
It is that the SRU refused to respond to news that they were being offered substantial increases on their salaries to leave the country and join clubs in England. Over the past decade, the SRU was about as secure dealing with professional sportsmen, agents and the whole circus of pro sport as Europe is with the Euro."
