Commonwealths no distraction for Glasgow Warriors' Lamont

Lamont, along with fellow Glasgow Warriors winger Tommy Seymour, was named in Scotland's Rugby 7s squad for this summer's Games in Glasgow.

The 33-year-old, capped 86 times for his country in XVs, is two seasons into his second spell with the Warriors.

And on May 31 he faces one of the biggest games of his career - a RaboDirect PRO12 Final against Leinster at the RDS.

Lamont is excited by the prospect of an action-packed summer, which also includes a Scotland tour to North America next month, but silverware with the Warriors comes first.

"We've got the RaboDirect Pro12 final with Glasgow a week on Saturday and then the Scotland tour to America and Canada in June, so there won't be too much time to sit about thinking about the Games," he said.

"I've been trying all my career to get a title so the final against Leinster is a massive deal for me.
"But I'm pretty much flying straight out from that game to join up with the Scotland squad for a couple of weeks.

"It's only after that I will get a wee bit of a break. Once that is out the way is when I'll be able to start thinking about the Games, but that's the way I like it."
