Scotland Head Coach Gregor Townsend today added three players to the 2019 Guinness Six Nations squad.

Glasgow Warriors backs Rory Hughes (wing) and recent Fosroc Scottish Rugby Academy graduate Stafford McDowall (centre) are joined by Edinburgh scrum-half Henry Pyrgos in camp with the squad at Oriam in preparation for this Saturday’s sold-out championship opener against Italy at BT Murrayfield Stadium (kick-off 2.15pm).

Glasgow Warriors trio Matt Smith (back-row), Alex Dunbar (centre) and Rob Harley (lock) – who were added to the squad last week – have been released back to the club.

Smith injured his shoulder in his club’s 9-3 win over Ospreys at Scotstoun, while wing Lee Jones sustained a knee injury, with a further update on Jones to follow in due course.

Glasgow Warriors front-row forwards Zander Fagerson (tighhead prop) and Fraser Brown (hooker) will join the squad in camp this week as their recovery from injury continues.

'They smelt it': Scott Robertson says Italy sensed All Blacks' vulnerability

Fair comment but we also can't ignore the the fact that NZ Rugby had to threaten to sack the guy & his coaching team in 2022. The ABs were literally a laughing stock at that point. The flow on effects don't disappear overnight. But yeah, I hear ya. Moving on.

Seriously world rugby, you gave the mens 7s player of the year to someone who played....... 3 tournaments.


It does beg the question, In almost 25 years of this mens award there has only been 1 X2 winner of the award, does everybody eventually get a turn at winning it?


Please don't get me started on the womens 7s player of the year, it had to be Jorga Miller in my book

TJ Perenara clarifies reference to the Treaty in All Blacks' Haka

He's not trying to re write it or eradicate a culture - have you even read the principles?? It's pretty straight forward. Equal rights for all.

Perenara is paid to play rugby and not push his political agenda. It was disrespectful and not the time or place. All Blacks - stick to rugby!

BB is terrible, can't pass and can't clear.


How on earth you think he's a 10 I don't know!


That was a nice kick into the 22 of his brothers pass though.

'They smelt it': Scott Robertson says Italy sensed All Blacks' vulnerability

Not really, the problem areas are his. I do think Razor made a conscious choice to continue with those problems and see if he was good enough to fix them though (Ukitu makes an argument above). Ultimately you would have hoped for more future development last year or two to bring in this year, but of course it was crisis modem so there was very little. Just really lucky a few players played well this year imo.

Always going to be the way with Beauden leading.


As in you think from his first year at the Crusaders he thought he might have discovered the right way to transition into a team?


That would seem to fit, but agree he took it way too far. Other than that I would have been pretty happy with the year. Can add Aussie to that list too! Crikey.

It isn’t Ian fosters fault that the All Blacks played garbage 14 months after he left the job.

Surely we can put responsibility for current ABs performances on the current coach and players.

It's not Dmacs size that's the problem, he's just not good enough for the ABS like Reiko Tj and Cane,feels like Foster 2.0 we could have dropped them and blooded new hungry young ones.

We should of beaten Italy much much easier and further.

Was lucky England lost the game - they should have beaten us ans were the better team on the field.

We also caught Ireland on a night where they were playing terrible footy.

Time for Razor to go before it’s too late. Test rugby is levels of magnitude up from Super rugby, and one simply does not make that transition with a snap of a finger. Boy is out of his depth and is hurting NZ rugby…

'You can't miss 30-plus tackles': Schmidt on Wallabies loss as injuries pile up

Here come the excuses for a kiwi coach in Australia (actually he's not even living in Australia) who pretends he is 'building depth' when in reality he is deliberately setting out to destroy any cohesion in an Australian team by chopping and changing it almost every week. It was exactly the same under Robbie Deans and Dave Rennie. We have seen this movie before.
