Scotland rugby coach Andy Robinson has spoken for the first time about drafting Tim Visser into his squads when the Dutchman becomes eligible through residency in 2012.
Speaking at the announcement of a pool of 34 players for the forthcoming Autumn Tests against New Zealand, South Africa and Samoa, Robinson also reflected on Edinburgh's start to the season - and highlighted the form of Visser in particular.
"Tim Visser's try-scoring feats have been pretty exciting," said Robinson of a winger who notched five touchdowns in the opening four games.
Altogether there are 12 Edinburgh players in the latest squad including Jim Thompson and Greig Laidlaw who are part of an uncapped quartet.
Making it clear both David Blair and McKenzie just needed to maintain current form to merit consideration for the Six Nations Championship it was the latter who particularly pre-occupied the coach.
"I can't pick players on one great performance though and there has to be consistency. They have to be playing at that level every time for the full 80 minutes."
Alas, for each of the 15 tries Edinburgh have scored one has been conceded, and Robinson added: "While Edinburgh attacked brilliantly in Cardiff at the beginning of the season they let in a couple of sloppy tries."
Robinson will wait until the opening Test against New Zealand on November 13 when Scotland aim to make it five successive matches unbeaten before deciding whether to rotate his squad for the subsequent fixtures against South Africa and Samoa.
