Edinburgh wing Duhan van der Merwe has learned that he is on track to return to action in May, meaning his British and Irish Lions hopes remain alive.

Scotland’s record try-scorer had a scan on Monday amid concerns about the severity of an ankle injury that caused him to limp off early in his club’s United Rugby Championship victory over Dragons on Friday.
