Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has lamented the loss of Richie Gray for Saturday’s Test against Argentina just as the veteran lock was starting to re-establish himself in the national team.

The 33-year-old made his first start for his country in five years against Fiji a fortnight ago and then retained his place for last weekend’s agonising 31-23 defeat by New Zealand.
