Taylor lands recall, but Townsend still out
Thursday, 22 February 2001 14:50Edinburgh Reivers forward Simon Taylor has capped a memorable two days with a recall to the Scotland squad for the Six Nations clash at Twickenham. The 21-year-old broke his hand against Australia in November and has yet to feature in the tournament so far.
But after being selected in the provisional British Lions squad yesterday, Scotland coach Ian McGeechan has recalled flanker Taylor in place of Jason White. But stand-off Gregor Townsend is still not fit enough to return to the squad from the knee injury he sustained just four minutes into the opening game in France.
