Robinson's men set to join party

Scotland were due to arrive in New Zealand today ahead of their Pool B opener with Romania in Invercargill.

Head coach Andy Robinson took his 30-man squad to a training camp on Australia's Gold Coast and will tomorrow name his team for Saturday's fixture.

With a clash with Georgia following next Wednesday, the proximity of the games means Robinson is likely to utilise almost the entirety of his squad in the two matches to assess his options for the September 25 game with Argentina and the October 1 clash with England.

Glasgow Warriors' fly-half Ruaridh Jackson said: "There's a very short turnaround between the two games and there are going to be a number of changes for each game."
