SILENCE OF THE LAMONT
Rory: Personal glory must wait
By Roddy Duncan
RORY LAMONT has taken only a year to reach the heights of international rugby - but he'll put his celebrations on hold until Scotland bring an end to their Murrayfield agony.

It's just 12 months since the winger figured in his first pro-match for Glasgow but he he has now firmly established himself as the man in the wide berth on the left flank.

Looking ahead to Sunday's clash with Samoa he said: "I won't start celebrating my elevation until we start winning when it matters."

Lamont, the younger brother of Scotland's other first-choice wing Sean - revealed he'd given up hope of reaching the big time after a year on the sidelines.

He said: "Once things started to happen, they happened at an unbelievable rate. Even now I am still banging my head off walls to make sure it hasn't all been my imagination.

"I joined Glasgow Hawks with only one thing in mind - to get a regular place in their first team in the BT Premiership"Thankfully I was then given the chance to train with the Warriors and it just progressed from there.
