​SCRUM-half Rory Lawson will be available for Gloucester's game against Harlequins on Saturday, after he was released from the Scotland squad today.

Lawson was an un-used replacement for his country in Sunday's opening-day defeat to France but with Mike Blair fit again he loses his place on the bench for the trip to Wales on Saturday.

Prop Alasdair Dickinson will win his 15th cap, while fellow front row man Scott Lawson is named on the replacements bench.

Gloucester's other Scotland international, blindside flanker Alasdair Strokosch is out with a twisted ankle and is currently undergoing rehabilitation with the Gloucester medical staff.
