"I do get homesick," he reveals. "We have no family out here, and I have spoken to my agent about a move. There have been discussions with home-based teams, and although I have a year still to run here, I am trying to get out before then.
"I think the budgets of the Scottish professional teams may be limiting them, but I would consider a drop in wages if, say, I could get a two-year deal for slightly-less pay than here. I would consider it for sure. It would all depend on whether Begles-Bordeaux would be prepared to release me. If I do well in South Africa and get selected for the World Cup, I won't be here anyway, so they might consider letting me go early."
