Sale Sharks' back rower Jason White is making excellent progress with his recovery from a knee injury sustained last November.
Training with Scotland ahead of the World Cup, Jason said, " It's going really well and I was able to take part in full contact training on Tuesday. It's been a long road back but thankfully I have had expert help with my recovery and can't wait to get back on the field again."
Asked when that would be Jason said, " All being well I am aiming for the Scotland v Ireland game on August 11th."
Jason also spoke about his hopes for Sale Sharks this season and said, "It will be great to play for Sale Sharks again. I missed playing with the lads especially Magnus, Seabass (Sebastien Chabal) and Juan (Martin Fernandez Lobbe) at the back of the scrum and look forward to teaming up with them again after the World Cup."
Sale Sharks begin their challenge for their third European Challenge Cup title against Pool 4 rivals Bayonne, Montpellier and Petrarca Padova, when the tournament kicks-off in November.
