Ryan Wilson "a stronger person" following assault charge

Scotland flanker Ryan Wilson has insisted that he is "a stronger person" after being found guilty of an assault in Glasgow earlier this year.

The Glasgow Warriors player was fined £750, banned for three months by his club and handed a six-month international suspension following the incident in a kebab shop.

The 26-year-old, who is part of Scotland's World Cup squad, told the Daily Mail: "Mentally is has been tough going through what happened. I regret the whole situation, everything about it.

"I have probably done some growing up since and I feel a stronger person. I have been through quite a bit bit I think my head is in the right place now.

"I've learned from what happened and there's no way I'll ever be put in the position again, that's for sure. All I want to do now is represent my country."

Wilson will start in Scotland's World Cup warm-up match against France tomorrow.
