Scotland confirm selection back-up plan for Fiji contest
By PA
Edinburgh prop D’Arcy Rae is in line to make his first Scotland start against Fiji on Saturday if Zander Fagerson has to pull out.
The experienced Glasgow tighthead, who was named in the number three jersey on Thursday, missed the team run at Murrayfield on Friday due to personal reasons and is considered a doubt for the opening autumn Test.
Rae, whose solitary cap came as a sub against Ireland in the 2019 Six Nations, was initially listed among the replacements for the visit of the Fijians but the 29-year-old will be promoted to starting duty if Fagerson is unable to play.
In that event, uncapped Glasgow prop Fin Richardson – not selected in the 23 – will be added to the bench.

In your opinion because he's a Crusader. We talk about parochialism in our game but people like you and Jacko take it to a whole new level in your consistent antagonism to Crusader players.
