Hogg back for Scotland

Monday 5 Nov 2018

SQUAD UPDATE: Scotland receive a timely boost following their 10-21 defeat to Wales last weekend.

Head coach Gregor Townsend has the privilege of welcoming back six players which include Stuart Hogg.

The Glasgow Warriors fullback are joined by teammates Adam Ashe (back-row), Scott Cummings (lock) and Nick Grigg (centre).

English Premiership pair Josh Strauss (Sale Sharks) and Duncan Weir (Worcester Warriors) are also back in the training squad.

The additions follow injuries sustained by Scarlets back-row Blade Thomson (head) and Harlequins centre James Lang (rib) as they represented their club sides at the weekend, while David Denton (Leicester Tigers) and Matt Scott (Edinburgh) continue their ongoing recovery from head injuries with their respective clubs.

The national team also confirmed Edinburgh trio Ross Ford (hooker), Henry Pyrgos (scrumhalf) and Dougie Fife (wing) have been released back to the club.
