'Strong & exciting squad'; 'No Matthews is an absolute joke'
We asked for your views on the Scotland squad announced by Gregor Townsend for next month's Autumn Tests.
Here's what some of you said:
Bruce: Strong and exciting squad, a good combination of new blood and old, but the Jonny Gray saga is confusing.
Jim: Another petulant pick from Townsend. Omissions of Johnny Matthews, Ross Thompson and Richie Gray do not reflect well on him as a coach or man.
David: The squad looks really good, maybe still missing an enforcer type, but I thought Matt Fagerson really looked good in the URC final run-in. We still miss a good second tight-head, but D'Arcy Rae has played well for Edinburgh in the last few games. Looking forward to seeing Patrick Harrison, Dylan Richardson, Harry Paterson, Alex Samuel and Mosese Tuipulotu get game time.
Michael: Overall an excellent squad, although the lack of depth in certain positions - particularly tight-head - is brutally exposed by the out-of-window game. Congratulations to Sione Tuipulotu on being named captain - a true leader. However, still uncertain if Finn Russell has been demoted or Sione has risen to the challenge.
Gordon: Surprised the new Saracens 10 [Fergus Burke] isn't there. They should've got him before England snaffle him. Surprised about Gray, Cameron Redpath and Guss Warr being omitted. I am pleased to see Rory Hutchinson in there, he has been underused at international level, also good to see Dylan Alexander in there, a good long-term option at hooker.
Chris: Really pleasing to see a lot of young players involved who have rightly earned their place. Looks like a squad with an eye on the future. Wise decision from Gray, just finding his feet in the Top-14, which will make him an even better player.
Cameron: No Matthews is an absolute joke. Far too many Edinburgh players considering their form in the URC compared with Glasgow.
