Townsend's Newcastle influence a 'light touch'

Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend only has a "light touch" in his new consultancy role with Newcastle Red Bulls.

Last month, Townsend agreed a 30-day a year role with the Prem club as part of Red Bulls' global rugby strategy.


But new managing director Jonny Petrie insists that working with Newcastle will not get in the way of Townsend's international commitments.

"It's a really light touch for Gregor," former Scotland international Petrie told BBC Radio Newcastle.

"We're very respectful and mindful of his position with Scottish Rugby and as Scotland coach, particularly at this time of year."
