RORY DARGE has “progressed brilliantly” as he bids to shake off a knee injury ahead of the Six Nations opening weekend, according to Scotland assistant coach John Dalziel.

The Glasgow flanker is hoping to be fit for Scotland’s game against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday after suffering a knee strain against Edinburgh at the end of December.

Dalziel said: “It was great to have Rory back in last week, with the support of his club and national team medical team, to get him assessed. He is completely on track.
