Lang and Graham join injury-hit Scotland squad

Scotland have called up James Lang to their injury-hit squad for the November internationals.

Harlequins back Lang has been called up as a replacement for Sam Johnson, who is the latest in a long list of injury absentees, while the uncapped Darcy Graham has also been promoted to the full squad.

Johnson injured his knee playing for Glasgow Warriors against Munster on Saturday, with back-row trio Magnus Bradbury, David Denton and Luke Crosbie leaving the Scotland camp to have treatment with their club sides.

Lang, who made his international debut earlier this year, will also serve as cover for Matt Scott, as Gregor Townsend’s side wait to see if the Edinburgh centre recovers from concussion.

Scotland face Wales on November 3, before Test fixtures against Fiji, South Africa and Australia later in the month.
