DTH making up for lost time

DTH van der Merwe is back after injury
DTH van der Merwe is out to make up for lost time when Glasgow take on Gloucester at Firhill on Friday.

The Canadian international wing/centre signed for Glasgow over the summer but has been out of action with a broken wrist since October.

DTH said in the Evening Times: “I am desperate to get back in on Friday night and determined that if I do I will make an impact and a contribution to what would be a massive win for Warriors.

“The injury has been a nightmare for me as I had only featured as a sub against Cardiff Blues in the Magners League, then picked up the injury in my first full start against Biarritz and that has been that.

“I have been a bit lucky that the international break has meant I have not missed too much game time, but I’d be lying if I said it was not driving me nuts.

“But I have kept working away and now I am ready to go if Sean Lineen wants me. After a great win at Ulster, the mood in the squad has been really upbeat and we can’t wait to have a go at Gloucester.

“Victory can turn around our Heineken Cup hopes in one fell swoop and we fancy ourselves against anyone at Firhill.

“But no-one at Glasgow is underestimating how tough this will be. English sides play with a lot of pride and are really determined and with the whole Scotland versus England thing the lads have been telling me about, there will be no shortage of edge.”

Great to see DTH back so soon after that fractured wrist .. can't wait to see what he can do when he gets the chance..

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command..

DTH is a top class player and will be a pleasant surprise for a lot of people. I actually think he's best at 12 but he has a lot of pace so can fill in at 13 and wing. Allan Munro usually gives him hospital passes for Canada, DTH gets the ball, 4 guys go on top of him, he comes out with the ball. Possible future stalwart and gives us a lot of depth.

This is very good news. He wasn't on long against Biarritz but really caught the eye. Good luck to him!

Bloody shame he's Canadian really! ;)
