Skills Coach Mike Blair joins Scotland coaching team ahead of 2017 summer tour

Former Scotland captain Mike Blair has joined Gregor Townsend's coaching staff ahead of their 2017 summer tour.

Blair, who is Scotland's most-capped scrum-half with 85 appearances, arrives with Townsend and assistant coaches Matt Taylor and Dan McFarland from Warriors at the end of the 2016/17 season.

He will take up his new role as skills coach to Scotland after the Warriors' final match of the season against Edinburgh Rugby this Saturday, while retaining his duties and responsibilities to the club outside the Test match windows.
