Don't give me loose change

GREGOR TOWNSEND has told his team their standards versus Portugal must not fall short of those shown against the Springboks even though only one name remains on his starting XV teamsheet.

Full-back Tom Jordan is the solitary player to hold on to his jersey from Sunday's defeat by South Africa and is only in the side because of injury to Edinburgh's Harry Paterson.

Head coach Townsend is hell-bent on testing the depth of his wider squad tomorrow.

So even though he has gone with a second string compared to the teams he chose to take on the world champions and Fiji, he still expects a first-class performance at Murrayfield.
