Scotland trio cleared to play in Glasgow game
Sam Johnson, Scott Cummings and Rufus McLean have all been released from the Scotland squad to play for Glasgow against Munster on Friday.
The trio have been part of Gregor Townsend’s pool for the Guinness Six Nations, but will play no part against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday after they were named in the Warriors line-up for their United Rugby Championship showdown at Scotstoun.
Johnson is the most notable of the Scotland contingent to be listed in the Glasgow side as he started in the 20-17 win over England last weekend.
Attack coach Nigel Carolan will take charge of the team after head coach Danny Wilson tested positive for coronavirus.
He is looking forward to an exciting meeting between two sides currently in the top four of the URC.
“We were really pleased with our performance against Connacht two weeks ago,” he told the club’s website. “We played in the right areas of the pitch and created a lot of scoring opportunities.
“There’s a lot of history between us and Munster. They are a quality side and we’ll need to bring the same defensive energy and attacking intent.
“It’s great to be back at Scotstoun on a Friday night and we’re looking forward to the challenge of Munster.”
There are four changes to the side that won 42-20 at Connacht the weekend before last. Centre Robbie Fergusson will make his first appearance of the season.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming Robbie Fergusson back for his first involvement of the season, and our internationals Scott Cummings, Sam Johnson and Rufus McLean,” added Carolan.

My name is Amelia Jonathan from the United States, Using this opportunity to thank Dr. Ughulu is a grateful thing to me, for over years I have been sick with Hepatitis B disease, I have done a lot of things to get cured of my diseases and nothing has worked out. I have taken different types of medication for it , but it still doesn’t work for me. I still keep going for a check up so that the doctor will tell me my disease has be gone, because i’m taking my medicine with no result nothing has been cured, I have spent a lot of money just to get cure of Hepatitis B. until my old time friend came to my place and saw what am going through, and then direct me to contact Dr. Ughulu who is a very powerful man, which I did explain my problem to Dr. Ughulu and send me a herbal remedy bottle and explain to me how I should drink it. So I started to drink the herbal tea in one week that I drink the herbal tea. I went for a check up to check if I’m cured from Hepatitis B disease, then the nurse told me nothing is wrong with me anymore and said I’m fine. I am the happiest person right now. I promise Dr Ughulu I will testify about his good work on the internet.

Go to commentsI’d take the Sharks, Stormers, Bulls, and Lions back in a second. Super Rugby Pacific is improving and the conference system sucked ass and never should have been implemented but if you think the quality of rugby is better without the South African franchises, you are kidding yourself.
And there is nothing authentic about Moana Pacifika, it is a sixth NZ franchise. Almost all of the players are NZ citizens, born and raised in NZ, were developed by NZ secondary schools and play in the NPC. The players just happen to be of Pacific heritage (just as there are a very large number of Pacific heritage players on the original five NZ franchises). Moana Pacifika is a marketing ploy for Auckland’s second SRP franchise.
Fiji Drua are legitimately a Pacific island team. Most players are born in Fiji, the players live and train in Fiji, and they play their home matches in Fiji.
