That feels like alot of forwards...some will be dropped after some time in camp?

Three uncapped and a few still returning from injury or injured. Glasgow have been missing a few of their stars through injury of late despite there being 19 players in this squad.

Couple this with hopefully giving some international experience to newer players against USA and Tonga as well, it's good to be able to test some combinations.

Biggest missing name is Huw Jones, not expected back until the NY, hopefully fully fit for 6N.

Since the USA game is outside the international window I expect a couple more absences for that as well.

Will Hutchinson get a shot?

Will Hutchinson get a shot?

In probably any other Scotland team. This one just has one of the best centre pairings in the six Nations. Which is bloody unlucky for him.

Hope he does get a run out, he's been very good for Saints.

 

[mkersyshull]

But with Huw Jones missing?

 

[AlRums]

Will Hutchinson get a shot?

Maybe, but he has to prove himself with Jordan and McDowall also in the running

He's partnered McDowall a couple of times this year and could also be an option at fullback

 

[General Melchett]

Interested to see how Scotland's defence transitions under Radford. Tandy oversaw a big improvement and will be a hard act to follow. Radford looks like he could still play.

 

[AlRums]

Kinghorn's getting plenty of conversion practice today in the Toulon/Toulouse game.

 

[NotTooAmused]

we're never going to win anything with Zander as our only serviceable TH. Hopefully OBL develops quickly.
