Scotland centre Matt Scott is hoping that he will be given the chance to impress during the team's Six Nations match against Wales tomorrow.
Scott has had a number of serious shoulder injuries over the past year and has not played for Scotland since last year's 51-3 Six Nations defeat to Wales. He starts on the bench tomorrow and is hoping to play a part in the match.
"I've been trying to get myself physically right to play, but also mentally as well. It's been difficult," Scott told ClubCall.
"That's been frustrating as I've not really had a chance to show Vern [Cotter] what I can do. But this week I've been able to train a lot and I'm just delighted to have been named in the squad. Hopefully I'll get a chance to prove myself.
"It's been almost a year since I've pulled on that Dark Blue jersey. It will almost feel like my debut again. I've not experienced that feeling of walking out in front of a packed out Murrayfield for so long so I reckon it will be a pretty special occasion."
The 24-year-old has scored 45 points in 49 matches for Edinburgh.
