KEY Scotland backs Finn Russell and Darcy Graham are both “in the hunt” to be involved in Saturday’s showdown with England at Twickenham, according to assistant coach Pete Horne.
Talismanic co-captain Russell and free-scoring wing Graham were cast as doubts for the Calcutta Cup clash after suffering head injuries following a nasty collision with each other in the first half of last Sunday’s 32-18 defeat by Ireland at Murrayfield.
However, both players remain with the squad and have been taking part in light training at the Scots’ warm-weather base in Oliva Nova, south-east Spain, over the past few days.
