Christie glad to be back in Scotland fold

FOR all the fresh faces in Scotland’s Six Nations squad, their starting XV to face Wales in Cardiff next Saturday is likely to have a largely familiar look.

The backline may well be the one that finished the World Cup barring absent wing Darcy Graham, but fit-again Kyle Steyn is a capable deputy.

Glasgow team-mate Kyle Rowe and Sale’s uncapped Aaron Reed are also in contention, with Ben White and George Horne challenging Ali Price hard at scrum-half.

Up front it would be a surprise if Pierre Schoeman, George Turner and Zander Fagerson were not the starting front row, with Scott Cummings likely to join Richie Gray at lock following Grant Gilchrist's ban one-match.
