Zander Fagerson says future bright for Scotland

Rookie prop Zander Fagerson believes the future is bright for Scotland after their fresh-faced props stood up to the test against Australia.

Loosehead Allan Dell made his Dark Blues debut during Saturday’s narrow 23-22 defeat to the Wallabies, while tighthead Fagerson was making his first international start.

They came up against an Australia front-row containing more than 200 caps but with the guidance of hooker Ross Ford — himself making his 100th Scotland appearance — did not disappoint head coach Vern Cotter as they put in a solid display against a team ranked third in the world.
