Al Kellock trained with the Scotland squad today
Three Glasgow Warriors were added to the Scotland squad for Saturday's Six Nations visit to Wales.

Moray Low, Alastair Kellock and Graeme Morrison trained with the squad indoors at Riccarton today.

Also taking part were Phil Godman, Ben Cairns, Calum MacRae and Craig Hamilton (all Edinburgh), Alasdair Strokosch (Gloucester) and Simon Danielli (Ulster).

Glasgow's Andy Henderson has been cleared to play against Wales despite headbutting a French opponent on Sunday.

Six Nations citing commissioner Achille Reali decided no action should be taken following the incident involving Damien Traille.

In reality, I don't think there was much in the headbutt (not a vintage Glasgow kiss)but our Andy's a lucky boy. It's just the sort of incident that the authorities like to make an issue of.

Aye, and Damien Traille gets away with both the punch and stamping on Muffles on the ground in Biarritz ....

I accept the decision of the panel, however, come what may a Glasgow kiss, no matter how "soft" is one of the least acceptable forms of volence. It is peculiarly west of Scotland, and beneath comtempt.
I have watched all levels of violence, but the head butt represents we Scots at our worst.
That said, Muffles penalty has been seen as sufficient, so that should be a line under it.

Godman is hammered on these boards for a performance v Italy that wasn't that far below what we were treated to on Saturday. He's now playing well in a successful side and working with an excellent Coach. Give the guy a break!
