Key Highlights
- When I see the team, I see the players in really good form, it excites me what's coming up ahead."Explaining his decision to recall Dave Cherry, Townsend says "his experience is really important" and the Vannes hooker "probably should have been in the November squad". On the inclusion of Jonny Gray despite a lack of game-time at Bordeaux: "He's actually in really good form.
- He's playing with one of the best clubs in Europe.
- He's looking fit and sharp, his workrate is outstanding.
- Again, someone who played really well last year's Six Nations.
- He's someone that has played well for us and we can rely on him if required during this championship."With Cherry selected, fellow hooker Gregor Hiddleston misses out despite being first choice for Glasgow.
