Cammy Mather is determined to prove his fitness
Cammy Mather is detemined to prove his fitness for the clash with Italy in Rome after damaging his ankle in Saturday's Calcutta Cup clash with England .

"I will be getting physio twice a day and when I meet up with the national squad later on this week I will be going all out to prove my fitness ahead of the Italy game," said Cammy, adding: "The Scotland team is usually as good as selected by the Monday or Tuesday on the week of the game and so I have until then to get back into training and show I have fully recovered.

"I have been lucky throughout my career in that I have always managed to avoid a really bad injury. But I thought I had broken my ankle on Saturday. It is a massive relief it is not too serious.

"It was a very worrying moment for me. I basically grabbed Danny Grewcock and hauled him to the ground with a sort of judo throw. I have got long studs in my boots and my right foot stayed where it was in the turf and the rest of my body carried on. I heard a crack and my foot went numb. I thought it was broken for sure.

"I had enjoyed the whole week; the training, the build-up and the atmosphere at the game were all tremendous. The guys went into the game full of confidence and we felt good on the park.

"Personally, I was right up for it. Everything was going well and we were getting stuck right in about them and then I picked up an injury. "I thought the guys did really, really well. I would have loved to have been part of it."
