Kinghorn back in Scotland squad as Graham suffers new setback
By Josh Raisey

The 27-year-old missed the opening two rounds of the Championship with a knee injury, but has been drafted back into Gregor Townsend's squad alongside fan-favourite Hamish Watson, Magnus Bradbury, Alex Craig and WP Nel.
Javan Sebastian, Ross McCann and Josh Bayliss have left the squad, the with latter being ruled out with a concussion.
Despite returning to training with Edinburgh last week following a quad injury, Darcy Graham has suffered a new setback, this time a groin injury. Scotland have said that he will be assessed this week.

Agreed. As a Saffa I have much respect for the ABs. I also have to say given any option I would ONLY prefer to lose to ABs. To lose to England is probably the most embarrassing think to happen to either of us.
There was a time when both of us lost to England and we both hated it. Thankfully those days are behind us. Kudos to you guys, kudos to ABs. But dear old BS seems to hate us Boks. No idea why.
Go to commentsI got the sense that holding him to it was kickback from SB and the rfu smarting at being jilted quite so soon, so unexpectedly and so publicly.
Seem to remember that they spoke to Gustard before appointing Joe and you really have to think he would have come in at a higher level?
