RICHIE Gray’s disciplinary hearing for alleged dangerous play will take place on Wednesday morning, and the Scotland camp appear confident of a positive outcome that will leave the lock forward free to play against Argentina on Saturday.
The 33-year-old is alleged to have committed an act of foul play in a ruck or maul during Sunday’s defeat by the All Blacks, and if the charge is upheld he could be suspended from the Pumas match and possibly from one or two club games as well. However, Scotland assistant coach Pieter de Villiers insisted last night that there was nothing malicious about anything Gray had done during the New Zealand match at BT Murrayfield, and praised the player for his exemplary discipline.
