Evans has six Scotland caps to his name but spent much of last season on the sidelines after undergoing reconstructive knee surgery.

But with Glasgow riding high at the top of the Magners League table the 26-year-old admits Scotland’s 6 Nations kick-off against France on February 7 can’t come soon enough.

Evans said: “We were happy with our defence against Edinburgh and we need to maintain that and make sure it’s right, but the focus has been on how we’re going to beat Leinster with our attack, not just waiting to see what they’ve got.

“It would be great to be top of the league going into the Six Nations. I think I’ll be peaking perfectly for the Six Nations because, in the last two games, like everyone, I’ve had to work for the full 80 minutes.”
