As the debate continues about whether Finn Russell or Blair Kinghorn should play at stand-off against New Zealand on Sunday, Scotland attack coach AB Zondagh last night threw his weight behind a third, intriguing possibility: that both should play at once.
Zondagh, it must be said, gave nothing away about the coaching team’s preferred starting line-up for the Autumn Nations Series match against the All Blacks. That will be revealed tomorrow afternoon. But, while the odds are still in favour of Kinghorn beginning the game in the No.10 jersey and Russell biding his time on the bench, the possibility of the two being on the field at the same time is a tantalising one.
