Gregor Townsend forced to recall Finn Russell after controversial omission

U-TURN: Finn Russell is back in the Scotland squad (Mike Egerton/PA)

Finn Russell has won a Scotland call-up after fellow stand-off Adam Hastings was ruled out through injury following Saturday’s win over Fiji.

Russell was a controversial omission from Scotland’s original squad for the Autumn Nations Series but is back in the fold ahead of Sunday’s BT Murrayfield clash with New Zealand and the visit of Argentina on November 19.
