Mike Blair and Chris Cusiter may have been handed a late chance to play their way on to the 2009 British and Irish Lions tour, writes David Ferguson in The Scotsman.
"It was widely believed that Cusiter was next in McGeechan's thinking, having impressed the coach as his midweek No 9 on the 2005 tour, while that tour's Test scrum-half Dwayne Peel is now fully recovered from injury and back in the frame. The problem for them now is game-time.
"With Cusiter having opted to leave France for Glasgow this summer, he has been relegated to the bench at Perpignan, and Peel came off the bench in what was Sale's final match of the season on Saturday, leaving McGeechan to state that he will take the next fortnight to make up his mind on a replacement."
