Kyle Traynor, the Edinburgh prop, has been added to the Scotland squad for their three –day training camp at St. Andrews that starts tomorrow.

Traynor, 23, has been enlisted as a precaution following the shoulder injury sustained by Alasdair Dickinson, the Gloucester prop, in a Guinness Premiership match last month. Scotland head coach Andy Robinson OBE said: “Kyle has been playing consistently well for Edinburgh this season and he deserves his call-up to the squad. Alasdair remains in the squad and will join up with us at St Andrews.”
