Scotland drops Duhan van der Merwe for New Zealand match

Duhan van der Merwe, a co-record try-scorer, has been dropped from Scotland's squad for their match against New Zealand. This decision by coach Gregor Townsend is to reward the strong form of rival winger Kyle Steyn, who has been consistently performing well. Van der Merwe, a two-time British and Irish Lions tourist, accepted the news professionally and trained well despite the disappointment.
