Scots Lion Sutherland finally in a good place again

Sutherland has since started only six matches for Scotland, with the majority of the 22 caps he has added coming off the bench.

Rory Sutherland is adamant he can still perform a starting role for Scotland as the embattled former British and Irish Lion outlined his renewed sense of contentment on and off the field.

After recovering from a career-threatening groin injury sustained in 2016, the 32-year-old established himself as Scotland's first-choice loosehead for both the 2020 and 2021 Six Nations campaigns and then went on to start for the Lions in the first test of the series against South Africa in July 2021.
