Six Nations 2022: Jonny Gray and Cam Redpath out of France game as Scots call in six

Scotland's Jonny Gray is out of the Six Nations game against France.

Scotland will be without Jonny Gray and will not be able to call on Scott Cummings and Cam Redpath for Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations game with France at BT Murrayfield.

Gray has a right ankle injury and did not play for his club Exeter at the weekend. The ankle was heavily strapped during the 20-17 loss to Wales before half-time but Gray played the entire game.

Cummings was a likely replacement in the second row but the Glasgow lock missed the weekend game against Benetton with a knee injury. With him ruled out, Sam Skinner is likely to move to the second row as he did in the win against France in Paris last year.

May be back for final two games

Redpath has returned to Bath with an undisclosed injury. The Bath centre, Gray and Cummings could be available for the final two rounds of the championship. However Jamie Ritchie and Rory Sutherland, who suffered a rib injury against Wales, will miss the rest of the Six Nations.

Scotland have called up six players to cover the loss of the injured group. James Lang, Oli Kebble, Marshall Sykes and Simon Berghan have been recalled. The uncapped Glasgow pair Kiran McDonald and Ollie Smith joined the squad at Oriam on Monday morning.

Smith is another former Strathallan School player joining the national squad. The Fagerson brothers, Jamie Ritchie, George Horne and Murray McCallum, all FPs of the Perthshire school, have been called up in recent years.

The 21-year-old has starred for Glasgow after being blooded this season. He was man of the match scoring a try against Benetton at the weekend.

Props Berghan and Kebble rejoin the squad after not being involved in the first two games. Both played significant roles in last year’s championship. Edinburgh’s Sykes was capped off the bench against Tonga in November.

Bath’s Josh Bayliss has rejoined the squad after recovering from concussion. He scored in his club’s game against Leicester at the weekend.

‘There are often changes made in the championship’

Scotland came into the championship with virtually a clean bill of health. But Gregor Townsend said the attritional nature of the Six Nations was always going to take a toll.

“There are often changes made throughout the championship. It is a challenge we are much  better equipped to deal with given our current squad depth,” he said.

“This is a great opportunity for the new players to impress and force their way into our match day squad.”
