Scotland Head Coach Gregor Townsend today added three players to the 2019 Guinness Six Nations squad.

Glasgow Warriors backs Rory Hughes (wing) and recent Fosroc Scottish Rugby Academy graduate Stafford McDowall (centre) are joined by Edinburgh scrum-half Henry Pyrgos in camp with the squad at Oriam in preparation for this Saturday’s sold-out championship opener against Italy at BT Murrayfield Stadium (kick-off 2.15pm).

Glasgow Warriors trio Matt Smith (back-row), Alex Dunbar (centre) and Rob Harley (lock) – who were added to the squad last week – have been released back to the club.

Smith injured his shoulder in his club’s 9-3 win over Ospreys at Scotstoun, while wing Lee Jones sustained a knee injury, with a further update on Jones to follow in due course.

Glasgow Warriors front-row forwards Zander Fagerson (tighhead prop) and Fraser Brown (hooker) will join the squad in camp this week as their recovery from injury continues.

No you’re right. Legal tender is a currency controlled in Frankfurt. You’ll take whatever you’re given as always.

All Blacks vs France will be real deal after landmark agreement is reached

Looks like you’ve shot your bolt too early yet again ike!

As predicted, any exceptions will be playing time based and if the finals go to form, half the French first XV won’t be there. Listen to the French lads on here below who actually know what they’re talking about…

Every country has now seen through the lie that opposing the genocide of the population of Gaza is ant1semitic and an endorsement of Gaza. Ireland has won that argument. You and people like you have lost.

It this stage I have demonstrated beyond doubt that Farage is an antisem1te of the most despicable nature: condemned by the Board of Deputies of British J ews. Your ignoring this just tells us you know its true, which makes you one.

You’re Irish. That’s really all that needs to be said. As a people you’ve barely ever even thought for yourselves, let alone stood on your own two feet.

When Trump and/or the French and Germans knock over your little tax haven dodge, you’ll be back to holding your hand out begging with that look of victimhood on your collective face, that is the defining feature of Ireland.

All Blacks vs France will be real deal after landmark agreement is reached

First, we don't know who will be on the final. If it's Castres and Bayonne, it will be easier…

But if it's Toulouse and Bordeaux, or maybe La Rochelle…

Like said JV , no Dupont, no Mauvaka for sure. But Greg Aldritt is injuried too this week , Jegou is injuried for some weeks. N'Tamack need surgery. At 9 ,Dupont is out , Lucu walk with crutches, Couilloud is out for some month, Serin was injuried Sunday night. Jeauneau will probably be sélected. So if Toulouse and Bordeaux are in the final, the 5 players available for NZ should be choose among guys like : Graou, Castro Ferreira, Vergé, Lacombre, Brennan, Lamothe, Etchegaray, Cazeaux…. Instead of Cros, Lucu, Penaud and co…In the 42 players, maybe will we find some U20 like Brau- Boirie and Etchegaray or Daunivucu who was in Argentina Last year…

These spéculations were in “Midi Olympique “ monday, maybe it's true. . But it's not Holy Bible…

But as you said, “ the real deal” will be very far…

Because, moron, the Irish media’s notion of ‘reporting’ is to cut and paste anything from the Guardian? Do you get it now you nasty little anti-Semite?

…and yet Farage supports sending arms to Israel, whilst you’re a swivel-eyed anti-Semitic Hamas and PIRA supporter.

I’m confident I know which one plays ‘dress-up’ in front of his bedroom mirror sticking his right arm up to the sky.

Like the rest of your nasty little anti-Semitic country.

No-one calls postgraduate education ‘4th level education’ - certainly not in England.

Then, to confirm you couldn’t possibly complete a postgraduate course, you showed for what must be the 50th time you can’t even understand the insult directed at you.

‘Them’ eh? What an unfortunate slip by the Hamas supporter.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣

‘Red’ has been busy on Wikipedia. You need to understand what you’re reading first, moron. I’ve heard some ignorant drivel in my time but that takes the biscuit. Still, you’ve got the excuse of being Irish and only having the world’s most pathetic media to get your info from. Strangely, enough, the new government populated entirely with Remainers don’t seem to want to go with a new referendum - strange that.

Throughout its history, the Irish have been the world’s gimps. Any passing boat could invade it. I think you like being dominated. It’s become the national fetish. Vikings, Normans, the Catholic Church, the Normans, the English, British, Brussels, American MNCs. I suppose it stops you having to think for yourselves or do anything.

You voted the ‘wrong way’ on the Lisbon Treaty - were told that you didn’t matter and to go back and get it right, and rolled over as per usual. You’re Brussels’ embarrassing, retarded, little gimp in the corner.

Thank you for your nuanced comment. Most fans around me in France actually agree with that. The main point in the end is the absence of Dupont (and Mauvaka), which is simply unfortunate. The question is : will Lucu be able to be selected ? Maybe the best thing for this tour would be for UBB to lose the semi-final.

Where do you get all this drivel from? You’re a Hamas-supporting anti-Semite. I would have thought that if you believed Farage was all these things you’d be his number 1 fan.

It’s hilarious. You scan the wilder reaches of the Guardian and Wikipedia for any drivel about Farage being in the same room 20 years ago as someone who was once in the BNP (despite Farage doing more than probably anyone else to actually expel these people from politics) yet you’re a cheerleader for PIRA and Hamas, genuine 36 carat neo-N@ssees.

It’s so typically ‘Irish.’

I can’t explain the politics of Brexit to you any more. You clearly haven’t got the cognitive capacity to cope, so it’s a waste of my time and yours.

Of course I’m a member of Reform. There’s an anti-Semitic, pro-PIRA/Hamas country across the Irish Sea - these are dangerous times for Britain.
