Heathcote ascends the throne

Crowned the King of Aberdeen by his peers two years ago, Ruaridh Jackson was unceremoniously deposed last night after being replaced in the Scotland squad by a young pretender in the shape of Tom Heathcote.

Just two days after Mike Blair was, in sporting parlance, 'hooked' after throwing the intercepted pass that allowed South Africa to assume a commanding lead at Murrayfield on Saturday, the Glasgow Warriors stand-off has been dropped after he, too, made mistakes as his side sought to fight back in the closing stages.
