All roads lead west for the Scotland squad next week, but for the vast majority it will be a very familiar route that is being followed to the pre-Six Nations Championship camp in Glasgow.

The make-up of the 35 players listed yesterday as representing the country's "form and future" international players was quite extraordinary in the extent to which it looked towards Glasgow Warriors present and past, 25 in all, almost three times as many produced by Edinburgh. All the moreso because Scott Johnson, as interim head coach, was appointed by Andy Robinson who had taken charge of Edinburgh when he arrived in Scotland in 2007 and, as recently as two months ago, had built the team for what proved his last campaign with the national side around players he worked with in the capital.
