No nerves for new captain Cusiter

CHRIS CUSITER has no fears about leading out Scotland for the first time this weekend, insisting being on the bench is as nerve-wracking as it gets.

The scrum-half will captain his country against Fiji on Saturday at Murrayfield after winning his battle for the armband and a place in the team with joint skipper Mike Blair.

Unlike Blair, who has led Scotland for the past year and a half, Cusiter’s experience in the role at Test level is limited to replacing his rival during last season’s RBS 6 Nations game against Wales.
