Gregor Townsend adds Fin Richardson to Scotland squad before New Zealand clash at Murrayfield

Glasgow prop Fin Richardson has been called up to Scotland’s squad ahead of Saturday’s clash with New Zealand at Murrayfield.

The 27-year-old made his international debut as a replacement during the 41-12 win over Samoa in July.

Head coach Gregor Townsend has reduced his squad to 42 players before the meeting with the All Blacks.

Australia-born Montpellier back-rower Alexander Masibaka has been ruled out of the rest of the autumn internationals with an elbow injury, while Leicester prop Will Hurd is unavailable due to a shoulder issue.

Hooker Harri Morris and flanker Liam McConnell, who made Test debuts in Saturday’s 85-0 victory over the United States, have returned to club side Edinburgh, in addition to team-mate Ross Thompson.

After taking on New Zealand, Scotland host Argentina and Tonga on the following two weekends.
