Edinburgh centre Mark Bennett admits to being frustrated by a lack of game-time during the recent Autumn Test Series, but the centre says his overriding emotion is of excitement at being back involved again after four years in the international wilderness.
Now he plans to use the next two months with Edinburgh to push his case for a more central role in Gregor Townsend’s plans during the 2023 Six Nations and onwards into next Autumn’s World Cup in France.
“I’m delighted that I am back in the frame but disappointed that I didn’t play more because I think I had more to offer,” he said. “But the good thing is that I’m in a position that I feel like if I am given a chance then I’ll take it.
