Scottish scrum-half Chris Cusiter targets World Cup place after recall

Scotland scrum-half Chris Cusiter is targeting a place in the 2015 World Cup squad.

Scrum-half Chris Cusiter has revealed that he has his sights set on a place in Scotland's Rugby World Cup squad after he earned a recall this week.

The 32-year-old was initially dropped for this year's Six Nations championship, but a concussion injury to Sam Hidalgo-Clyne has seen him brought back into contention for Saturday's game with Italy, and he hopes to keep his place for the rest of the year.

He told the Daily Mail: "I know I am getting older and things move on. I am 32 and there are not that many guys playing international rugby who are above 30. It is a young man's game but, if you are fit and playing well and regularly, you always think you have a chance."

"I would want to make the most of any chance that comes my way as it is a real goal of mine to play in the Six Nations and to make the World Cup.

"Going into this week, it has always helped me to have that underdog thing going on. Not making the squad, I thought: 'Right, I'll tell you what, I'll play as well as I can and you have to pick me."

Cusiter has 70 caps for Scotland.
