SCOTLAND head coach Gregor Townsend acknowledged that the unavailability of in-form second-row Richie Gray for tomorrow’s final Autumn Test Series clash against Argentina at Murrayfield due to suspension is a major frustration, but he backed younger brother, Jonny, to seize the opportunity he has been presented with as a direct consequence.
The elder Gray was handed a three-match ban on Wednesday having been cited after last weekend’s loss to New Zealand for foul play at a ruck or a maul, and it is understood that the Scottish camp are unhappy that the panel which considered his case contained an Argentinean in the shape of former international referee Juan-Pablo Spirandelli.
