Scotland get Jonny Gray boost ahead of England Test
By PA
Jonny Gray has joined up with the Scotland squad ahead of Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations opener against England.
The Exeter lock was not present at the training camp in Edinburgh last week because of what the Scottish Rugby Union described as “an ongoing medical issue”.
Edinburgh’s Jamie Hodgson was called into the squad on a temporary basis.
However, Gray started for the Chiefs on Saturday in the Gallagher Premiership and scored a try in their victory over Gloucester.
A brief SRU statement read: “After missing the training week in Edinburgh, Gray has rejoined the squad in Spain.
“Jamie Hodgson has remained with his club.”

Barrett will be 35 and his pace and skills are in decline and he rarely takes the ball into contact any more and has not for a few seasons, thus his tendency to kick first, pass second, run third. Barrett has this season in the All Blacks and then his time is up.
Hopefully Cotter starts Perofeta at 10 the rest of the Blues’ season and Perofeta steps up and finally reaches his potential as a 10.
