Grant Gilchrist desperate to make Scotland squad through final Edinburgh audition

Grant Gilchrist knows Friday night is his last chance to impress and force his way into Scotland’s Nations Championship squad. At 36, the Edinburgh lock has one final audition against the Lions before Gregor Townsend names his squad on Monday. Gilchrist is chasing his dream of a fourth World Cup to match Chris Paterson’s record, but first he must convince Townsend that, in the short term, he still has what it takes to make the international grade in the twilight of his career.
