Townsend on Burke, Gray and Lions coaching duties

Head coach Gregor Townsend has been speaking to the media after he announced his Scotland squad for the upcoming Six Nations championship.

Here's a taste of what he had to say:

• ⁠Townsend spoke about what incoming Saracens fly-half Fergus Burke will bring to the Scotland set-up.

• The head coach said he was delighted to have Jonny Gray back in the squad after the second-row pulled out of the Autumn Nations squad, and said Gray is 'going really well for Bordeaux'.

• ⁠⁠When asked if it's 'now or never' to win a Six Nations, Townsend replied "you only get so many championships."

• He wants as many Scots as possible on the upcoming British & Irish Lions tour to Australia in the summer.

• The head coach ⁠wouldn't say if he wants to be part of the touring Lions coaching staff again but no discussions have taken place with Lions head coach Andy Farrell.
