TWO East Lothian-born rugby aces return from injury lay-offs to take centre stage in teh Guinness Pro14 tomorrow (Saturday).
Huw Jones, who grew up in Musselburgh, returns to the Glasgow Warriors team for the first time since April as they take on the Southern Kings in South Africa tomorrow (Saturday).
The former Pinkie Road resident made his return from a wrist injury in last week's win over the Toyota Cheetahs, playing the last half hour after coming off the bench.
For the second match of the South Africa tour, though, he has been handed the number 13 jersey and partners fellow Scotland cap Nick Grigg in midfield.
Dave Rennie, Glasgow Warriors head coach, said: "It's great to give Huw Jones a start, so it's an exciting pairing [with Grigg]."
