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.”

Go to commentsThink it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
