Montpellier’s Townsend in line for Borders return

The record Scotland cap-holder is now with French club Montpellier, but is relishing the possibility of a return to Scotland.

Townsend said: “I know the Borders are looking for a stand-off and it would be great to go back.

“I’ve got a year left on my deal with Montpellier. And it depends on what the club can do in terms of finding another stand-off. But the club have been great and I should find out where I stand in the next two weeks.”
