Description
Squad announcement press conference with Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend ahead of November's Nations Championship matches.

He discusses competition for places, the progress of Hector Patterson and Ollie Blyth-Lafferty, and the possibility of Josh McKay joining the squad once eligible.
Townsend also assesses the challenge of facing New Zealand, the new Nations Championship format and Scotland's ambitions ahead of next year's Rugby World Cup.
