Six Nations: McGeechan hopes Townsend will return

Scotland coach Ian McGeechan hopes Castres’ Gregor Townsend will recover sufficiently to join his squad for the Six Nations Championship clash with Wales at Murrayfield on Saturday week.

Townsend had to leave the park with a knee injury after only three minutes against France on Sunday but is having treatment.

Glenn Metcalfe will train with the squad before being released to play with the Scotland ‘A’ team.
