Eight Warriors named in Scotland squad for Samoa encounter
Scotland Head Coach Gregor Townsend has named a matchday squad containing eight Glasgow Warriors for Monday’s meeting with Samoa, as his side looks to bounce back from their opening Pool A defeat to Ireland.
Sam Johnson retains his place at inside centre as one of two Warriors involved in the starting XV, with the Dysart-born man set to win his eighth cap in the dark blue jersey.
Jonny Gray is the other Glasgow representative set to take to the field for the opening kick-off in Kobe, as Scotland face Samoa in pool action for the second Rugby World Cup in succession.
There are six Warriors ready to make an impact from the replacements bench, with George Horne in line for his first taste of Rugby World Cup action after replacing the injured Ali Price in the number 21 shirt.
Adam Hastings provides fly-half cover from the bench once more, whilst Ryan Wilson drops to the bench having started the opening match of the tournament in Yokohama.
An impressive cameo off the bench against Ireland sees Scott Cummings retained in the matchday 23, with Zander Fagerson and Fraser Brown completing the Glasgow contingent in for Monday’s encounter.
