Rugby: Two Scots will represent their country before joining the Lions in Australia

# Rugby: It will be a busy few days for two Scottish players who will represent their country before joining the British and Irish Lions in Australia. Loosehead prop Rory Sutherland and hooker Ewan Ashman were included in Gregor Townsend’s squad for tomorrow’s Test against Samoa in Auckland, New Zealand, from where they will travel to Melbourne for the Lions’ clash with the First Nations-Pasifika team on Tuesday. Townsend strengthened Scotland’s team with five new players in the starting-15 after last weekend’s loss to Fiji.
