Gregor Townsend declared Sione Tuipulotu “the right man” to lead Scotland after appointing the Glasgow centre as the new national team skipper ahead of the autumn Tests.
Finn Russell and Rory Darge were made co-captains for the Six Nations earlier this year – replacing Jamie Ritchie who led the team to the 2023 World Cup – but it was announced on Wednesday that Townsend has opted for another change of leadership.
