LONDON - Gregor Townsend believes the fact he can select Test debutant Jaco van der Walt as Scotland's fifth fly-half of the end-of-year campaign is a sign of the Dark Blues' growing depth.

The 26-year Edinburgh No 10 will be the fifth fly-half deployed by Scotland in their end-of-year campaign, following Finn Russell, Adam Hastings, Stuart Hogg and Duncan Weir. "It seems like we've got more depth, I think 36 players have played in this campaign and it will be three more this weekend," he told reporters after naming his side on Thursday.
