Townsend expects new caps to 'come through strong'
Written by I Dig SportsScotland head coach Gregor Townsend expects some of his emerging players to "come through strong" after making their international debuts during the summer tour.
Forwards Gregor Brown, Will Hurd, Ewan Johnson, Robbie Smith, Dylan Richardson, Nathan McBeth and Max Williamson, and backs Harry Paterson, Ross McCann, Arron Reed and Gus Warr have appeared during the first three Tests.
Victories over Canada, the United States and Chile have preceded next Saturday's final match in Uruguay, which is live on BBC Scotland and iPlayer.
Asked if he had found new options for his 23, Townsend said: "I believe we have.
"There's a lot of rugby to be played until we come back in November.
"It'll be up to the players to build on what they've done on tour, compete at their clubs and put their hands up for selection.
"There's a couple of players here that will come through strong, maybe not next season but in the seasons to come."
