Yes, there were a few raised eyebrows down here when we saw he’d been omitted from the match day squad. Maybe Brunel’s saving him for more important matches!

All the press reporting this morning that Daly is set to be retained at 15 :smt009 and Manu play 12 with Slade outside :smt018

Now I'm worried.

Jake Kerr starts on the bench for Scotland. Great young player and deserves his chance. Rock solid at the set piece.
