Glasgow Warriors scrum-half Chris Cusiter has returned to training after being sidelined since last season with a knee injury.

Glasgow coach Sean Lineen told the Herald: “When he fired his first pass it fizzed as if he had never been away and the rest of the players just applauded.

“He’s still got an awful long way to go and we don’t expect him to play for another four or five weeks yet, but it is hugely encouraging to have him back in training. He looked really sharp and he was as enthusiastic as ever, maybe a bit too much, because he did a bit more than he was supposed to.”
