Ross warns off rival Townsend

Gordon Ross has warned Gregor Townsend that he aims to make the Scotland No.10 jersey his own. The Edinburgh Gunners stand-off struck 23 points on his international debut as Scotland secured a 43-20 victory over Tonga and hopes to keep his place for the second Test against Argentina next Sunday.

Ross said: 'I don't know if Gregor is back in contention. But, fingers crossed, I will be in the squad.

'I was pleased with the kicking although I missed one.

'It is the same with all kickers. Once you get into the game and get the first one or two over, it is a boost to their confidence.'
