Lachie Swinton is ready for fireworks when the NSW Waratahs enforcer makes his long-awaited return in Friday night's Super Rugby Pacific season opener against the Brumbies in Sydney.
Swinton hasn't played a competitive match since suffering a shoulder nerve injury in the Waratahs' corresponding round-one win over the Fijian Drua last year.
When the injury didn't heal naturally, as he'd hoped, the 26-year-old needed surgery that set him back a further six months.
