Adam Hastings to make injury return in Challenge Cup quarter-final
By Josh Raisey
Gloucester fly-half Adam Hastings is set to make his return from injury on Friday against the Ospreys in the Challenge Cup quarter-final at Kingsholm.
The 27-year-old is poised to come straight back into the starting XV in his first match since injuring his knee in January, with George Skivington handing him the No10 jersey.
The match will come just two days after Hastings' departure at the end of the season was announced. The 27-cap Scotland international will end his three-year stint in the Gallagher Premiership by rejoining Glasgow Warriors.
Though Gloucester sit in ninth place in the league with four rounds to go, virtually ruling them out of the play-offs, they have a chance to add to this season's Premiership Rugby Cup with a European trophy as well.
A win would mean Hastings can extend his Gloucester career by another game, with five games remaining as it stands in cherry and white.

I'm not meaning to criticise the players, it's a professional game, this is their livelihood so all power to them. I am aiming criticism at the selectors. Italy is the perfect opportunity to give players of the future a game such as Lakai, Love etc. There is a finite number of tests until the next world cup to develop the team, we are wasting one today.
Go to commentsThe Crusaders have signed a few "senior pros" recently. Smart recruitment to pass knowledge on to younger players or an indication that the much vaunted Kiwi player pipeline is in decline?
