Metcalfe missed the start of last season due to injury and when he did return for Glasgow he was pushed out to the wing due to Moffat">Stuart Moffat's early season form.
After some outstanding displays for Glasgow and Scotland in the second half of the season he's back in place as the country's top full-back.
His return to his best form was instrumental in the encouraging Scotland displays against the Boks. Jim Telfer told the SRU website: "Metcalfe is probably playing as good rugby as I've ever seen him play and has really taken responsibility."
