ZANDER FAGERSON believes that Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend should select the strongest available squad for this summer’s four-match tour of South America and resist the temptation to give his Lions contingent an extended break before the long build-up to the 2023 World Cup clicks into gear at the start of next season.
The national side are set to play a non-cap warm-up match against Chile on 25th June followed by three Tests against Argentina the 2nd, 9th and 16th July, and Fagerson reckons that taking on that schedule with a squad packed with fringe and emerging players could backfire.
