Johnson will head up united front for Scotland prior to RBS 6 Nations

Old friends and foes will unite in Scotland's cause for the RBS 6 Nations but, more immediately, to provide the national team's new caretaker head coach with moral support as he meets his first official audience at Murrayfield next week.

In announcing a posse of appointments of former Scotland internationalists – Shade Munro, Stevie Scott, Scott Murray and Duncan Hodge – to posts with the senior and A teams, as well as Dean Ryan, the former England lock, who played in the team that won at Murrayfield in 1998, to the role of forwards coach, the Scottish Rugby Union rightly underlined the interim nature of the set-up.
