RYAN WILSON missed the start of the season because he was partying in the Big Apple, but the veteran Glasgow Warriors back-rower insists that he is as committed to the cause as ever and is determined to push his way back into the starting XV. He also reckons he has another four-years left at the sharp end of the game.
“I missed the Treviso game as it was my best mate’s wedding in New York,” explained the 33-year-old. “But I’d spoken about it with the coaches from quite early on and when Franco [Smith] came in as head coach I had to check with him and he was happy with it. I’ve missed plenty of important occasions over my 13 years here but that was a special one, best man at a wedding.
“Then it was a nightmare getting back actually, delayed and missed flights and all sorts. I was meant to land on the day of the Queen’s funeral and that had a knock-on effect on all flights. So, I ended up getting back on the Tuesday and the way that we train we have big days on Monday and Tuesday so missing those had an effect on the Cardiff game that I missed.”
